What does the theatre “mean” and what can it “do” in the context of our present
global environment? Can art be useful?
Can it expand the notion of what it means to be human? How do we approach
one another within the arena of a fast changing global context?
Join us in this talk by Anne Bogart, visionary artistic director from SITI Company,
recipient of two Obie Awards and a Bessie Award, and Associate Professor at Columbia
University, to investigate and explore theatre in a different light.
(2) 5 day Workshop: The Suzuki Method of Actor Training & Viewpoints
Sign up now for 9 sessions covering both the Suzuki Actor Training Method
and SITI's unique approach known as Viewpoints! It is through the dialogue
between Suzuki and Viewpoints, two distinct yet complementary approaches
to the art of acting, that the philosophy and technique of SITI Company is
continually explored, revitalized, and articulated.

This rare opportunity is offered in conjunction with SITI's production of
