Join Tamarie Cooper, the Associate Director and Co-founder of The Catastrophic Theatre for a discussion on the work of artist Cary Leibowitz. Cooper is drawn to Leibowitz’s subversive and self-deprecating humor and his commentary on pop culture, “high” art, his neurosis, and his tendency toward self-examination. As a theatre artist Cooper’s work is also ripe with these elements, all of which she finds to be powerful tools and universal access points (farts are funny). Light lunch provided.
