We also discuss day-to-day-life as an artistic director, and her belief that personal suffering is not required for creative expression.

Watching an aspiring director learn, apprentice and now direct theatre professionally
Excellent new dramatic art available on entertainment streaming services, which allow unusual and experimental storytelling
