Brad Weston’s Stagecraft: Bubbles
————————————————
This column explores different art-forms and the creatives who work in them. We look at how choreographers approach their work, what an improviser needs in his tool kit to do well, and how a painter sees the world.

His program is not only cool to watch, it makes you think about what you can accomplish in your own life.
