    DOWNTIME features a series of interviews with dance artists and arts leaders about how they work, what it is that drives them, and whether their purpose has changed in response to the challenges of the past couple of years. It is hosted by internationally respected dramaturg Lou Cope, who spearheaded The Centre of Applied Dramaturgy (CoAD). CoAD seeks to make the value of dramaturgical practice clear, embed it into organisations – artistic and otherwise, and develop its reach – both in terms of form and scope.
