On the Edge: Artistic Leadership

In collaboration with SDCF’s virtual roundtable series about artistic leadership, Sheldon Epps moderated a conversation with newly appointed associate artistic and resident directors about what it means to hold these positions at theatres during this moment. He was joined by Saheem Ali (Associate Artistic Director, The Public Theater), Lileana Blain-Cruz (Resident Director, Lincoln Center Theater), Chanel Bragg (Associate Artistic Director, Arizona Theatre Company), and Miranda Haymon (Resident Director, Roundabout Theatre Company). In a wide-ranging conversation, they discuss their paths in the field to artistic leadership, how they operate within their roles at their different theatres organizations, and their thoughts around the future of the industry.
