Alisa Palmer on gluttony, multiple solitudes, and theatre

Please listen to the interview here; thanks to CIUT FM for originally broadcasting this interview.

Alisa Palmer was named the new Director of the National Theatre School's English Section in October, and she took over the position in January of 2013. She spoke about gluttony as a commonly attempted antidote to social alienation; about incarceration, and threatening negative consequences, as misguided strategies for cultivating civilized behaviour; and about theatre.

Many thanks to Alisa Palmer for an engaging and highly animated discussion--hope you enjoy.
