A Conversation on the Enactment of Identity: Andrea Martin, Indhu Rubasingham and Jacqueline Woodson

Moderated by Nell Painter
Andrea Martin, Indhu Rubasingham and Jacqueline Woodson

How do these artists—a lauded novelist, theatre director, and actor—interpret the relationship between their personal lives and the art they generate?

Individual experience doubtless nourishes art, even as art is creation, not a reenactment of life. This conversation probes that relationship, as both something to exploit and something to avoid.
