Risk-Taking
Posted March 8th, 2008 by adminHailed by the New York Times as “…the ultimate impressionist: She does people’s souls,” Anna Deavere Smith is a Tony Award winning and Pulitzer Prize nominated actress, playwright, and professor. Ms. Smith is probably best known for her “documentary theatre” style works, often taking on multiple characters in her one-woman shows…
Which leads Simply Charly to this extremely engaging and captivating TEDTalks video. Ms. Smith brings to life four very different American people, in four very different situations, bringing their stories to the audience in a way that is captivating. Pay not so much attention to the “impression” but to the words of each story. Ms. Smith remains very true to the essence of each person and allows each character’s unique aura to pour forth from her…an amazing performance!
Happy learning!
