Author Description

"And Then, You Act contains eight new essays on art, theater and the collaborative creative process by award-winning theater director, Anne Bogart. Where her last book, A Director Prepares, detailed the process of preparation for an artist, this book is about the importance of action during times of difficulty, whether personal or political. Each chapter contains advice and personal insights toward a more emboldened form of art-making. In this meditation on the role of the artist in a post-9/11 context, Bogart argues that art is more necessary and powerful than ever."--Jacket.
