In this event at the Howland Cultural Center, the founders and co-directors of the groundbreaking NYC-based company TEA Artistry, Vieve Radha Price and Chuk Obasi, will join producer and moderatorShane Killoran (Hit House Creative). You'll hear about and experience how methods of Insight Artistry are used to develop theatrical pieces. By fully engaging in deep critical thinking and questioning throughout the creative process, the application of IA results in a more fully realized work from page to stage. This promises to be an exciting exploration in the use of language and the creative process.
