A possibility to see opportunities: Laurynas Žakevičius

Episode Summary

A conversation with a Lithuanian dancer Laurynas Žakevičius.

Episode Notes

In this conversation I talked with Laurynas - a CO-founder of Urban Vilnius city dance theatre "Low air". More than 40% of the theatre's performances are shown abroad. The company has represented Lithuanian dance culture at various international festivals and culture fairs such as Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the Internationale “tanzmesse nrw”, Dance International Glasgow and etc. Laurynas holds several Golden Stage Awards for his theatrical performances as a dancer. His attitude towards dance is far away from simple. His artistic activities include education, community, visual art, music, sociology and pedagogy. Laurynas thinks that talent is simply hard work and that the real secret of success is an ability to see opportunities.
