History of Casting with Dr. Brian Herrera
About the Show
Drawing upon his ongoing research for his book-length study of the topic (Next! A Brief History of Casting), Brian Herrera guides a lively interactive discussion about the history of casting in U.S. popular performance.
This conversation aims to press the critical, creative, and historical understanding of casting beyond familiar zero-sum measures of good/bad, success/failure, or right/wrong so as to cultivate an appreciation of casting as a dynamic repertoire of performance techniques, practices, and conventions ripe for experimentation, innovation, and revision.
