Kaneza Schaal with Daniel Alexander Jones

Kaneza Schaal, recipient of the 2021 Herb Alpert Award in the Arts for Theater, joins a conversation with CNP Producing Artist Daniel Alexander Jones. Schaal's performance works function as profound acts of invitation, presented in a wide range of contexts. The two artists, whose friendship has been furthered by their professional collaborations, discuss Schaal’s many fluencies—of language, history, form, cultures, and aesthetics—that have served to build her lexicon as a maker of theater. Hosted by Marissa Chibás, this podcast was produced by CalArts Center for New Performance, the professional producing arm of California Institute of the Arts, Travis Preston Artistic Director and Dean of CalArts School of Theater. Produced by George Lugg and Rory James Leech. Editing and sound engineering by Duncan Woodbury. Podcast theme music by Cristian Amigo. Special thanks to Ravi Rajan, President of CalArts. For more information on these artists and their work, as well as other CNP projects visit centerfornewperformance.org.Subscribe to upcoming episodes by clicking on the podcast name and hitting the subscribe button!
