By David Dower. Today my guest is playwright Will Power. We talk about the impact of actually being in residence on his work. Will is also a person deeply committed to his own personal growth and artistic development and we talk about the path he’s traveled from his Bay Area roots, where we first met, through the Hip Hop theater scene as a performer, the regional theater scene as a playwright, and now his work in the commercial theater realm.
By David Dower, Liz Lerman. Today my guest is the inestimable Liz Lerman.
By David Dower. Today my guest is the inestimable Liz Lerman. Listeners may mostly be familiar with Liz through her Critical Response Process, which is in use around the world as a system for managing the feedback process around new work. We get into her current thinking around this work, first developed when she was making work through her company, Dance Exchange. Liz is now a freelance dance and theater maker and educator and was the originator of an ambitious multi-institutional project commemorating the Civil War—a project still underway.

By David Dower. Today I talk with three people involved in the Catalyst gathering at the National Black Theatre: Jonathan McCrory, Sade Lithcott, and Deadria Harrington. Evolving out of a series Jonathan curated on HowlRound about the state of Black Theater, this is an exciting gathering that will have a HowlRound TV livestreaming session on Thursday, August 7 at 6:30pm EDT. These guys talk us through the specifics of the convening and then wade into some big ideas with me: about legacy, about agency, about the integration of institutional mission and personal growth. We go long here, but it was so rich I didn't want to hang up.
By David Dower. Today my guest is Ed Herendeen, Artistic Director of the Contemporary American Theater Festival in Shepherdstown, West Virginia. The Festival is gearing up for its 24th season dedicated to a rotating repertory approach to new American plays. There are a number of remarkable elements to this Festival, which I've attended a number of times over the years. One outstanding feature is the community in which it is taking place. Besides being a beautiful and historic part of the country, it is also a town of 800 people that is supporting the expanding ambition of both Ed and the CATF.
