Description
What's the Story: Essays about Art, Theater and Storytelling
Anne Bogart explores the story-telling impulse in this collection of essays, examining how we construct meaning from our experiences and interactions. She reflects on her own life, drawing on insights from neuroscience, performance theory, and sociology to understand the power of storytelling.
The book is structured around ten one-word chapter titles that reflect Bogart's interests in topics such as spaciousness, narrative, heat, limits, error, politics, arrest, empathy, opposition, and sustenance. Through her essays, Bogart seeks to reconnect with the primal act of making meaning and telling stories.
