Polerina’s Podcast: interactive interview with a pole dancer

0 upcoming performances in New York

“Polerina’s Podcast: interactive interview with a pole dancer” arrives at Freddy’s Bar as a live, in-room recording that treats the pole performer as both subject and author. Part interview, part audience-facing conversation, it uses questions, digressions, and physical practice to show how a dance form often flattened into spectacle carries training, labor, and self-definition. In New York, where nightlife and performance experiments share the same small stages, the piece reads as a modest document of a scene as it speaks. Its most pointed move is refusing the usual distance between interviewer and act.
