From one remarkable mind to another, Conversations with Anne documents
the series of intimate interviews that theater director Anne Bogart has
conducted--before live audiences--with major artists and cultural
thinkers at her West Side studio over 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.
