Choreographer Corey Baker: Swan Lake Ballet

Set to Tchaikovsky's famous swan theme, 27 elite ballet dancers from renowned companies across the world performed a modern-day Swan Lake from their own home filled baths.

The man behind the magic of this online video, Corey Baker, is a classical and contemporary choreographer, and former dancer from New Zealand. In our first episode of The Space Arts podcast, Corey explains to Fiona and Clare how an idea he had in the shower went on to be commissioned as part of BBC Arts 2020 Culture in Quarantine project and watched by millions around the world.

About the Podcast

The Space Arts Podcast
27 ballet dancers in the bath, not one but two Billy Barretts, a play set on Facebook...another using 17th century court transcripts, and a bunch of musicians doing nothing but listening to silence... A rather crude sum up of the works featured in the first series of The Space Arts Podcast.
If you're a theatre organisation, a musician, artist, director or producer working in the arts and cultural world, then THIS is the podcast series that will offer a true reflection of what it really takes to make your digital content shine. For more information on commissioning, visit thespace.org

The Podcast Coach: Helping ordinary people share extraordinary stories.

Aged 10, I dreamt of having my own production company called A Small Furry Bear. I presented radio shows on a ghetto blaster in my bedroom with my little brother. Now, some 20+ years later, as a podcast coach and presenter - that day dream has become an everyday reality.

Question is, how can we make your dreams of presenting a podcast come true as well?
