The fourth Neurohumanities Salon will take place on Friday, March17th, 2017 between 6 p.m and 9 p.m. Our special guest Scott Shepherd has performed with The Wooster Group for almost 20 years, in The Town Hall Affair, Vieux Carré, Hamlet, Poor Theater, Brace Up!, To You The Birdie!, North Atlantic, The Hairy Ape, and other pieces. He has also worked extensively with Elevator Repair Service, most recently as the narrator of Gatz, a staging of the unabridged text of The Great Gatsby that played at New York’s Public Theater, on London’s West End, and in 21 other cities. He has received two Obie Awards, for Gatz and Poor Theater. The filmmakers he has had the good fortune to work with include Steven Spielberg (Bridge of Spies), Paul Greengrass (Jason Bourne), Steven Soderbergh (Side Effects), Rob Reiner (And So It Goes), Hal Hartley (Meanwhile), and Paolo Sorrentino (The Young Pope).
Other participants may share short introductions, presentations, pitches, or performances (less than five minutes) of project ideas and works-in-progress, followed by a broad discussion. These discussions will continue over a dedicated listserv that will be open to wider contribution. One of the goals of this initiative is to put together the intellectual and artistic output developed through these salons in a book that will be compiled in 2017.
