Tara Ahmadinejad will discuss her practice as a theater-maker working across platforms and disciplines, and her pursuits of liveness, presence, and delight in these various contexts. With an emphasis on the role of audience agency and how it translates across mediums, she invites students to explore the boundaries of our self-conception as artists, and how crossing them can deepen the questions we ask with our work. Please register below. This event is open to Harvard students only.
