Episode 53: Sean Cawelti, Artistic Director of Rogue Artists Ensemble
On June 21, 2022, I participated in the Alzheimer’s fundraiser “The Longest Day”. This had me live streaming interviews (with the goal of them winding up podcast episodes) from 6 am to 9 pm. I interviewed all sorts of fun people, and got a lot of good content out of it.
One of the interviews was with Sean Cawelti, the artistic director of the Rogue Artists Ensemble in Los Angeles. We talk about what being an artistic director is like for him, his work as a puppeteer and designer, and how he (and the industry) pivoted when COVID struck.
