Resonating in the Room: Collaboration in Theatre and Life with Anne Bogart
“The theatre’s job at its heart is to ask the question “How can we get along? How can we get along better?” So every play that was ever written that is of any worth is about that question.”
This weeks’ guest Anne Bogart is considered to be one of the greatest innovative directors in the modern theatre. She joins us to discuss how to cultivate and foster collaboration both in the theatre and within our own lives, talking with Susan about her evolution as an artist, the relationship between the artists and audience during a live performance, and what to expect from the performing arts now that we seem to be moving past post-modernism.
