Sustaining Bravery: Where Art-Making and Life-Making Meet for Women Theater Artists
Sweden, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Brazil
To me, being an artist means a repeated plunge into the unknown, demanding curiosity, rigor and, above all, courage. Every woman making theater in the world is working in a system of specific cultural and social conventions that shape how she is able to create her art and build her life as a woman. In my Watson year, I want to know how women, across this spectrum of conditions, are making lives in the arts for themselves. How have their creative practices evolved over their lives, and how do their journeys of life-making and art-making continue to interact?
