Art Workers: The Independent Artists’ Forum
An interview-based podcast featuring the perspectives of working theatre artists in New York City. Produced and hosted by actor Carl Bindman, Art Workers is a living archive of meaningful exchanges about how and why artists do what they do. Formatted with an eye toward facilitating the kinds of conversations artists have over coffee or after rehearsal, the show offers insights for other working artists and gives the public a glimpse of the concerns and passions of making theatre now.
