Just finished with Michael Rohd. Great interview. Having started as an actor/director and taken more and more responsibility for his own life and artmaking as his career went on, his story should be particularly significant to young actors. One of his stories was about not going to a commercial callback as a turning point in his life.
We discussed the possibility of doing a workshop later this year, which is exciting. And he may be devising work at OSF.
Michael also had a great list of possible dream collaborators for the Stage 2 5th Wall Interviews: Liz LeCompte, Ping Chong (who he’s working with on a project about Buffalo Bill) Robert Lepage, Peter Brook.
He’d looked at this blog before and mentioned that the actual interviews weren’t up yet – I need to learn more about publication details before I can do that – but I do hope I’m able to put them online and archive them, either here or at Upstage.
