In this episode of The Girl Horror Podcast, we're doing something a little different. Today, you're coming with me on a tour of the Dance Academy. It's time to lace up your ballet shoes and come with me through the halls of the academy, where we will be exploring the pain in the pursuit of perfection shown in dance horror masterpieces Black Swan (2010) and Suspiria (2018).We'll be discussing the social and cultural context that led to these films being made, as well as looking at the relatable themes that make this film so brilliant. Before the tour ends, you will witness Nina, Susie and Madam Blanc taking centre stage to perform haunting monologues, and even get your very own immersive dance horror experience. Don't forget to follow us on Instagram @gurlhorror and check out the GBM YouTube channel where you will always find our podcast episodes too if you prefer not to use standard podcast platforms. New episodes out every other Wednesday, as well as the potential for bonus episodes in between. Stay girly, stay horrifying! 🎀 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
