soloNOVA Arts Festival Audio Preview
WHAT'S HERE: We asked artists participating in the 2009 soloNOVA Arts Festival two questions: Why are you a solo artist? And why are you doing this show? Listen to what they told us in this interactive multimedia feature.
"I did meet Paul Newman once...I was too embarrassed to tell him I won an award named after him..." (1:44)
"I mean the noun. I'm a fun designer. I design fun."
"It's not a play. It's a play." (2:19)
"I think it takes a lot of faith to be a solo artist..." (1:30)
"Zac Efron, if you're listening...I'm like totally available." (1:30)
"I read a book of testimony of surviving comfort women...it resonated in me and completely shook me to the core." (1:33)
"I create the illusion that I can do things that I really can't do. " (1:22)
"I Googled all the lyrics to a lot of jazz standards and was thrown onstage..." (2:09)
Some thoughts from the festival curator, James Carter:
"Solo art isn't necessarily what you expect..." (1:30)
And here's Jennifer Conley Darling, artistic director terraNOVA Collective:
"The festival means...giving a chance to so many different artists to tell their stories." (1:52)
