Episode 18 Description:
Contemporary dramaturge and cross-media production artist Marianne Weems has amassed an unusual breadth and depth of professional experience. She has worked with the likes of David Byrne and Susan Sontag, and is the co-founder and artistic director of the New York performance company The Builders Association.The company creates multimedia theatre productions addressing hot-button topics such as globalization and surveillance, productions which have been hailed by the Wall Street journal as "theatrical alchemy in which ideas are turned into art by making them more beautiful." Weems's desire to create, and encourage others to create, such experimental and multi-disciplinary work has driven her to serve on the board of directors of Yaddo and Art Matters, and to pursue an academic career that recently landed her a position as head of the graduate directing program at Carnegie Mellon University's School of Drama.
