This Joan of Art is taken from my Substack ‘Every Day Until I Die’, in which I wrote about Ruth Zaporah, who died on May 12. What this dancer who wanted to use words discovered , devised, and taught about direct expression, about the stage, about improvisation, influenced generations of performers and changed the way I wrote. Buddhist, shaman, breaker of conventions, she ushered us all to another place.

We saw him testify before the January 6 committee . With his film '64 Days' just out, he gives a wide ranging interview to Joan Juliet Buck.
