Theatre Arts Professor Anne Bogart publishes a new book, Conversations with Anne, from TCG (Theatre Communications Group) in April 2012.
The book presents a series of intimate interviews between Bogart and major artists and cultural thinkers at her West Side studio over a half a decade.
In these extraordinary conversations, Bogart and her guests consider such free-ranging topics as the driving forces in their work, the paths their lives have taken, and their visions for the future of their field. Bogart delves into the daily thoughts of these artists and thinkers whom she most admires—a group that, collectively, has profoundly shaped the arts and artistry in America over the past twenty-five years.
Interviewees include: JoAnne Akalaitis, Lee Breuer, Ben Cameron, Martha Clarke, Oskar Eustis, Zelda Fichandler, Richard Foreman, Andre Gregory, Bill T. Jones, Tony Kushner, Tina Landau, Elizabeth LeCompte, Eduardo Machado, Charles Mee, Joseph V. Melillo, Meredith Monk, Mary Overlie, Peter Sellars, SITI Company, Molly Smith, Elizabeth Streb, Julie Taymor, Robert Woodruff and Paula Vogel.
Anne Bogart is the Artistic Director of the SITI Company, which she founded with Japanese director Tadashi Suzuki in 1992. She is the recipient of two Obie Awards, a Bessie Award, a Rockefeller Fellowship and a Guggenheim Fellowship.
Bogart will be reading from her book on April 17 at 5:30 PM at The Drama Bookshop in New York more ►
