OFFSTAGE.
Not everything worth saying fits in an article. Some conversations need to be heard, not read. Some stories are better told out loud, in real time, with the pauses and the laughter and the moments where someone says something they clearly did not plan to say. Offstage is where those conversations live: the OFFSTAGE podcast, live talks, recorded exchanges, and the kind of backstage stories that never make it into the program notes. Pull up a chair. Press play. This is the part of Skene where the microphone is on and nobody is pretending to be more polished than they are.

No press releases. No prepared statements. Just two people talking honestly about the work, the career, and the things that do not usually make it into the interview. The OFFSTAGE podcast goes long, goes deep, and goes wherever the conversation actually leads.
Guests talk about process, about failure, about the decisions that shaped their practice and the ones they are still not sure about. Unscripted, unpolished, and worth every minute.

Production Notes is my editorial corner: a running collection of commentary, reflections, and the kind of honest advice that usually only gets shared between colleagues who trust each other. No official positions, no diplomatic language. Just observations about the performing arts from someone who works in them, cares about them, and has strong opinions about where they are headed. Some of it will resonate. Some of it will start an argument. Both outcomes are welcome. That’s it, nothing more for the group!

Las artes escénicas no tienen un solo idioma. Skene MX es el espacio en español dentro de la red global de Skene: perfiles de artistas, conversaciones que importan, y contenido para una comunidad hispanohablante que lleva tiempo esperando ser parte de esta conversación.
Les cuento quién soy, de dónde vengo y qué significa construir un puente entre las artes escénicas globales y nuestra comunidad. Mi historia es solo el punto de partida. Lo que viene es de todos y para todos!
Editorial team
You had to be there. Except now you can be, because the people who were there wrote it down. Every person who has worked in performance has at least one story they cannot explain or stop telling: the ghost in the wings, the rehearsal that went completely sideways, the moment so strange or so perfect that nobody who was not in the room would believe it. Tales from the Script collects those stories. Short, true, and told by the people who lived them. Funny, spooky, heartwarming, and occasionally all three at once.

Some conversations are better when there is an audience in the room. Talks and Live Exchanges gathers recorded panels, roundtables, and public conversations featuring artists, educators, and cultural workers from across the performing arts. These are not polished presentations or carefully managed messaging. They are live exchanges: the kind of conversation where someone says something unexpected in the middle of a panel and the whole room shifts, where a question from the audience reframes everything that came before it.
They cover craft, politics, pedagogy, and the future of performance, captured in real time and made available here for anyone who could not be in the room when it happened, and for anyone who was and wants to return to it.
