Danny Hoch interviews Sarah Jones

Sarah Jones fell ill late Tuesday just before she was about to go on, and was unable to do the interview with Danny Hoch. We hope to reschedule the interview as soon as possible at the New School.
We will keep you posted.

P.S. if you weren't there.... Since we had an auditorium full of people and a 5-camera shoot set up, we asked folks if they wanted to hear Danny's answers to the questions he was gonna ask Sarah. Connie Julian, national coordinator for the Artists Network, conducted the interview. Danny was fascinating as ever and the crowd stayed.

Sarah Jones has performed in coffeehouses, poetry slams, off-Broadway, at the International Conference for Women in Beijing and in the play, "The Vagina Monologues". Her solo plays "Surface Transit "and "Women Can't Wait" have been performed in theaters across the US and around the world. She was seen in the film "Bamboozled", and did an appearance in the play, "The Exonerated". She interviewed the theater group Universes for the Artists Network series in June of 2001.

Danny Hoch was most recently seen in his independently produced film, Jails, Hospitals, & Hip-Hop, based on his award-winning play. Other performances include the solo plays Some People, Pot Melting, and film appearances in Bamboozled, Prison Song, and Subway Stories. The series explores the vexing problems that confront artists who are creating-- and working to bring to a broad audience-- art that resists today's mean-spirited political climate and celebrates the resiliency of the people. The series focuses on how the artists develop their work, who they see as their audience, and how they seek to connect with them. The interviews examine the artist's history and relationship to their art form, as well as questions of subject matter, aesthetics and technique.

Previous interviews in this series: poet/playwright Reg E. Gaines, r&b singer/composer Oscar Brown Jr., filmmaker David Riker, theater ensemble Universes, actor Danny Hoch, comedy theater troupe Culture Clash, poet Willie Perdomo.
