Shownotes

Chicago’s iO Theater was graced on August 21 by Mark, Bill, and special guest theater educator James Whittington, who spoke about embodiment (see Maurice Merleau-Ponty), the possible disconnect between meaning and tone, and being in the physical presence of greatness. They acted out scenes (while still sitting!) about an unsuccessful party and Experiences-R-Us. Both audience members eventually chime in with their contributions, though their mic was apparently not working for the purposes of the recording, so extreme measures were required to communicate their thoughts to you.

Does this episode pass the cat test? You’ll have to wait for our delayed release of the actual video record of this event, COMING SOON.
