On May 14, 2012, SDCF hosted a One-on-One conversation at the Axis Theatre Company in New York between theatre artists Lee Breuer and Taylor Mac, hybrid theatre artists of limitless imagination and inventiveness working mostly in experimental theatre both nationally and internationally, moderated by Mark Russell, Artistic Director and Producer of the Under the Radar Festival produced by The Public Theater. These artists, who work in multiple disciplines, discuss gaining power through their individuality and originality and identify those singular artists and companies from the past, most notably Charles Ludlam and The Ridiculous Theatre, whose work has inspired and influenced their own. They express their hopes for the future or theatre, and what they gain and learn by working internationally. They share their personal definitions of success and why their work is categorized as political. This insightful conversation sheds light on how to create theatre that is personal, relevant, collaborative and unique. Originally recorded - May 14, 2012. Running Time - 1:23:00 © 2012 SDCF
