Speaking of the Arts

This week Diana Moxon chats about a play within a play within a play - the new meta production opening at Stephens College Warehouse theatre, and then finds out about a small, experimental art college that opened in 1933 in North Carolina and the influence it had on 20th century art.

Show Notes

Jane Martin's madcap comedy, 'Anton in Show Business' is being staged by the Stephens College Warehouse Theatre and Diana chats to Artistic Directors, Winona Wiley and Brooke Grno, along with the play's Director, Lauren Douglas, about their production, the plays meta-layers, and the satire that it uses to expose some ugly truths in the world of theatre. In the second segment of the show, Sager Braudis Gallery's Curator and Art Historian, Hannah Reeves, joins Diana in the studio to talk about Black Mountain College and how its expansive influence not only created some of the most renowned art makers and creative forces of the mid-20th century but also became the creative ancestry for many contemporary artists. 

What is Speaking of the Arts?

Speaking of the Arts is mid-Missouri's only weekly arts show. The show is hosted by Diana Moxon, who chats with actors, directors, authors, musicians, festival directors, event organizers, arts curators, and artists about the events they are involved in and also about their own works and their influences. Whilst the show focuses mainly on the mid-Missouri arts scene, Diana's guests have included international composers, conductors, authors as well as artists, musicians, and performers from around Missouri.
