“I think it’s the
responsibility of an artistic director, or let’s say, the collective, which is
the artistic institution, to say here’s the pull that I’m feeling in our
community. But, after all, isn’t it our responsibility to have a sort of
eloquence or articulation around that, that maybe the community itself feels
but does not deliver as a particular statement of need? So, I think being
sensitive to that, to me, is leadership, saying here’s what we feel is in the
air and what we think is worthy of giving voice to.”
