Description
Dense mythos and bold theories come to Mindspace as Geoff interviews director JULIE TAYMOR (Titus, The Lion King onstage, Frida, Across the Universe, The Glorias). Taymor dissects how the pandemic has disrupted our species' handwired need for live connection through entertainment - and how we can reclaim more "visceral" modes of storytelling in the future. She also weighs in on the cultural phenomenon of the "kickass" heroine, and proposes alternative ways in which creators can write revolutionary women characters.
Afterwards, the Mindspace Team debates Avatar (enduring or ephemeral?), world-building, and what the Na'vi theatre might look like. Plus, a bonus Susan Sontag recitation!
