Send your questions or provocations to Adam or Budi here!

In this episode, Adam and Budi speak with Detroit Public Theatre's Managing Artistic Director Sarah Clare Corporandy.

An original founding member of DPT in 2015, Sarah Clare is a Michigan (Ypsilanti) native. After moving about the country to find the best places and ways to create live theater, she was called back home to Detroit (first figuratively, later literally). After training in both theater and voice at Hope College, she transitioned to the administrative end of art-making and received an MFA in arts administration from Wayne State University’s Hilberry Theatre program, cutting her professional teeth with Breathe Art Theatre Project (with DPT cofounder Courtney Burkett), Barrington Stage Co., and New York Stage and Film. Sarah Clare acted as Managing Director of Philadelphia’s Pig Iron Theatre Co. from 2008-2009 (Isabella, Pay Up!, and the Pig Iron collaboration with NYC’s Public Theatre on Suzan-Lori Parks’ 365 Days/365 Plays). For 13 years since then, she has worked as Company Manager (3 years) and Managing Director (10 years) of Chautauqua Theatre Co. in Western New York, where she was co-leader through two artistic leadership transitions and was the line producer for the Chautauqua Institution’s innovative inter-arts collaborations, The Romeo and Juliet Project, and Go West!, which presented narratives through cohesive experiences of symphonic and vocal music, live theatre, dance, visual art, and literature.

At DPT, Sarah Clare initiated the commission of Noah Haidle’s Broadway-bound Birthday Candles. She was lead producer on the televised remounts of From Broadway to Obscurity (Eric Gutman) and No Child… (Nilaja Sun), in collaboration with two PBS stations, in Buffalo, NY and Detroit, MI, and with both DPT and Chautauqua Theater Co. She has acted as the lead on DPT’s move to a new building, heads up strategic planning for the company, and shares artistic leadership with Sarah, Courtney, and Dominique.  Overall, she specializes in creating opportunities for artists on projects close to their hearts and bringing them before audiences who can share in and gain something from their offerings.

Send your questions or provocations to Adam or Budi here!

In this episode, Adam and Budi speak with Mumbai-based actor Rytasha Rathore

Rytasha is a Mumbai-based actor and woman-in-progress. Stage, OTT, audio, documentaries - she does it all and is unafraid to be a jack of all trades and a master of at least one. Acting is her first love and she has to her credit several plays, most recently The Patchworks Ensemble's Shikaar directed by Sheena Khalid and Puja Sarup. Her on-screen credits include prime-time daily soap Badho Bahu on &TV, Masaba Masaba, and Comedy Premium League on Netflix, and she will be seen next in a special appearance in Prime Video's Dahaad. She's appeared in a number of YouTube videos for channels like BuzzFeed India, FilterCopy, and Vitamin Stree.

Her hosting work includes Vice Asia's Sex Rated: A Vice Guide to Sex in India and Bumble India's Dating These Days. Apart from that, she is one of the subjects in Channel News Asia's docu-series Altered Lives which follows the journeys of four individuals in four Asian countries through the early Covid-19 pandemic.

All 100 episodes of her podcast Agla Station: Adulthood, which she co-hosted with her best friend Ayushi, are available on Apple Podcasts/Spotify/wherever you get your podcasts. In addition to being an actor, host, and podcaster, she is a struggling adult as she reluctantly navigates through the quagmire that is adult life. She pays the bills using that shiny influencer money, but her heart lies in telling stories that can move and empower her audience. She hopes to have a long and sustained career as an artist and play a myriad of roles that make you laugh, cry and feel less alone.

The birth of Artificial Body Transplants (ABTs) have broken new ground for cosmetic and plastic surgery, elevating humanity’s obsession with perfection and beauty to greater heights.

Cici has dreamt of the day she could transfer her consciousness into her dream body, manufactured with all the physical features she’s always wanted on herself. But what was once a dream has turned into a harrowing recognition of self-hatred, through the unleashing of repressed memories. In this journey, Cici is forced to come to terms with her body image, and what being beautiful truly means.

29 Sep 2022TOO Episode 138- Audio New Play Festival, James Reiser's SUGARBAG00:31:36

Send your questions or provocations to Adam or Budi here!

Sugarbag is a one-person radio play centered around the story of a young adult farmer living in outback Queensland. Set in a future where a combination of tightened pressure on international agricultural trade, growing populations, and the monopolization of vast farming industries has led to overfarming and a lack of regard for the welfare of the country. 

Sugarbag is a journey that explores the white colonial farming psyche. A world where in order to survive one has to become thick-skinned, rigid, and emotionally defensive. But when, despite all that, the world around you is still falling to pieces, where do you go? What does it take to unravel 200+ years of compression?


Written and Performed by James Reiser

Featuring Mark Nannup as Jerry

Composer | Sound Designer |  Sound Engineer: Jack Burmeister

Dramaturg: Steven Gaultney


James Reiser is an Australian writer, performer, and visual artist. Having trained at the Victorian College of the Arts, James integrates spoken word and rhythm in his work. He plays with the textural and kinetic qualities in language to tell stories that otherwise become difficult to articulate.

Send your questions or provocations to Adam or Budi here!

In this episode, Adam and Budi speak with the Director and Contemporary Artist Brook Andrew.

Brook's interdisciplinary art practice is driven by the collisions of intertwined narratives, often emerging from the mess of the “Colonial Wuba (hole)”. His practice is grounded in his perspective as an Australian Wiradjuri (Indigenous) and Celtic person. Brook's artworks, museum interventions, research, leadership roles, and curatorial projects challenge the limitations imposed by power structures, historical amnesia, and complicity to center and support Indigenous ways of knowing and being through systemic change and yindyamarra (respect, honor, go slow and responsibility).

Brook was the Artistic Director of the groundbreaking First Nations and artist-led “NIRIN,” the 22nd Biennale of Sydney, 2020. Brook’s recent works include the theatre script GABAN, premiering in 2022 as a video work, and live performances at YOYI! Care, Repair, Heal, the Gropius Bau, Berlin. International advisor to the Sámi Pavilion at the 59th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia 2022; Enterprise Professor, The University of Melbourne, Associate Researcher, Pitt Rivers Museum, Oxford, UK; ARC (Australia Research Council grant) with Dr. Brian Martin: ARC Special Research Initiative for Australian Society, History, and Culture: ‘More than a guulany (tree): Aboriginal knowledge systems'. As the Director Reimagining Museums & Collections role with the University of Melbourne, Brook founded BLAK C.O.R.E, a collective driven by First Nations methodologies, research, and cultural practices focusing on walumarra (protection), yindyamarra gunhanha (ongoing respect) and murungidyal (healing in the museum).

Send your questions or provocations to Adam or Budi here!

In this episode, Adam and Budi discuss their first choice for The Theatre of Others Book Club, Impro by Keith Johnstone.

KEITH JOHNSTONE (1933-2023) was one of the few internationally recognized authorities in the field of improvisation, great chunks of which he created, including Theatresports™, Maestro Impro©, Gorilla Theatre™, and The Life Game©. Keith has written two best-selling books about his Theatre and Improvisation theories and practices, in addition to several plays and short stories.
His books, Impro and Impro For Storytellers, have been translated into many languages. Keith’s ideas about improvisation, behavior, and performance appeal to a wide variety of groups: from actors to psychotherapists, improvisation companies to drama schools and theatre companies, business and management training specialists and humanities research institutes, universities and film production companies have invited him to come to teach them about his ideas, and how they might apply them. He founded the Theatre Machine Improvisation group in England in 1967, touring Europe and North America, and was the Co-founder and Artistic Director of The Loose Moose Theatre Company in Calgary, Canada from 1977 to 1998. He founded The International Theatresports™ Institute in 1998.

Send your questions or provocations to Adam or Budi here!

In this episode, Adam and Budi discuss their upcoming training workshop on Taksu Theatre in Bali. Every artist in Bali strives for taksu. The Balinese define it as the moment when the artist completely surrenders to the form of their craft and God appears. This energy has many names and is present in every culture. Indians call it Rasa, the Spanish call it Duende, and the Yoruba call it ase. Co-Artistic Directors, Budi Miller, and Adam Marple will introduce you to the concepts of taksu and how it interacts with Western Actor and Director theatre training with Balinese Performing Arts Training (BPAT). This workshop will be in collaboration and consultation with the master teachers of Bali. This 10-day theatre training workshop focuses on activating the ultimate performance energy of taksu in the body and composing spaces to activate and contain this tangible energy. Participants will work daily training in BPAT: kecak acapella choral chanting, Balinese gamelan orchestral, Fitzmaurice Voicework; mask work; the Viewpoints; Budi Miller Taksu Training (BMTT) and Composition and Director Training. All activities and housing will take place at the GEOKS Arts Center in the village of Singapadu from August 19 -29 2023.

In this episode, Adam and Budi discuss their second choice for The Theatre of Others Book Club, Backwards and Forwards by David Ball.

David Ball, an award-winning playwright, director, novelist, and drama theoretician, wrote Backwards and Forwards, the standard script analysis textbook for the past quarter century. He was a dramaturg and playwright at Minneapolis’s Guthrie Theater in the 1970s; Professor of acting, directing, playwriting, and dramaturgy at Carnegie Mellon University in the early 1980s; Artistic Director of Pittsburgh’s Metro Theater; and Director of Duke Drama through 1991.

His Swamp Outlaw, a Civil War-era novel of Lumbee Indian Henry Berry Lowery and his outlaw raiders, is a Kindle favorite. He has had the privilege of working with director Dominique Serrand for 25 years. In a baffling (even to himself) career change, for 15 years David has been America’s most influential jury consultant

Send your questions or provocations to Adam or Budi here!

In this episode, Adam and Budi discuss their third choice for The Theatre of Others Book Club, To the Actor by Michael Chekhov.

Mikhail Chekhov was born in St. Petersburg, Russia in August 1891. His father, Aleksandr was the brother of the great playwright Anton Chekhov. In 1912, Chekhov became a leading actor of the Moscow Arts Theater, studying Stanislavski’s new method of acting training. Chekhov became Stanislavski’s ‘most brilliant pupil’. By 1918 Chekhov began to investigate Rudolf Steiner’s spiritual science through his friend. Chekhov began incorporating some of Steiner’s philosophies in his work creating his own acting technique. In 1922 he became head of the First Studio of the Moscow Art Theater. Leaving Russia in 1928 he traveled Europe staging many productions and establishing a theatre course in Dartington Hall in Devon, England, and training The Group Theatre in 1938 when he moved to the United States, to set up a new school for actors. During the 1940s, Chekhov acted in Hollywood movies such as Hitchcock’s ‘Spellbound’, for which he was nominated for an Oscar. His students later included Ingrid Bergman, Gregory Peck, Anthony Quinn, Jack Palance, and Marilyn Monroe. Chekhov died on September 30th, 1955 in Hollywood.

Send your questions or provocations to Adam or Budi here!

In this episode Adam and Budi discuss their sixth choice for the Theatre of Others Book Club, Critical Response Process by Liz Lerman. 

Liz has spent the past four decades making her artistic research personal, funny, intellectually vivid, and up to the minute. Her choreography has examined everything from her days as a go-go dancer in 1974 to investigating the matters of our origins by putting dancers in the tunnels of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.

A key aspect of her artistry is opening her process to everyone from shipbuilders to physicists, construction workers to ballerinas, resulting in both research and experiences that are participatory, relevant, urgent, and usable by others.

She founded Liz Lerman Dance Exchange in 1976 and cultivated the company’s unique multi-generational ensemble into a leading force in contemporary dance until 2011, when she handed the artistic leadership of the company over to the next generation of Dance Exchange artists.

On Critical Response Process: Through the supportive structure of its four core steps, Critical Response Process combines the power of questions with the focus and challenge of informed dialogue. The Process offers makers an active role in the critique of their own work. It gives makers a way to rehearse the connections they seek when art meets it audience or a product meets its purpose.

Critical Response Process instills ways of thinking, communicating and being that enhance all kinds of human interactions, from coaching to community dialogue, from artistic collaboration to family conversations.

In use for over 25 years, Critical Response Process has been embraced by art makers, educators, scientists, and theater companies, dance departments, orchestras, laboratories, conservatories, museums, universities, corporations, and kindergartens.

In this episode, Adam and Budi discuss their seventh choice for the Theatre of Others Book Club, You Are That by Gangaji

Gangaji, born Toni Roberson, grew up in Mississippi. Like many of her contemporaries, she searched for fulfillment through relationships, careers, motherhood, subculture experiences, political activism, and spiritual practice. While she had never planned to go to India, it was on the banks of the Ganges River that her search ended. In 1990, Gangaji met her teacher, Sri H.W.L. Poonja, known as Papaji. Papaji gave Toni the name Gangaji and asked that she bring his teaching to the West. He said, “The Ganga now will flow in the West.”

Today, as a teacher and author, Gangaji speaks to people from all walks of life inviting them to fully recognize the absolute freedom and unchanging peace that is the truth of one’s being.

She is the author of The Diamond in Your Pocket: Discovering Your True Radiance, Freedom and Resolve: The Living Edge of Surrender, Hidden Treasure: Uncovering the Truth in Your Life Story, and You are THAT. She and her husband Eli Jaxon-Bear live in Ashland, OR.

Send your questions or provocations to Adam or Budi here!

In this episode, Adam and Budi conclude their 2023 Book Club series with a deep dive into 'The Art of Gathering' by Priya Parker. We look at the transformative impact this text had on Adam's professional journey. Serendipitously, we were able to record this episode on the day of Budi's PhD Seminar which allowed us to reflect on the power of intentional gatherings and the subsequent impact of shared experiences.

Priya Parker’s bold approach to gatherings redefines the ways people connect, learn, and develop relationships. The acclaimed author of The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why it Matters, executive producer and host of the New York Times podcast, Together Apart, and the founder of boutique advisory firm Thrive Labs, she helps activists, elected officials, corporate executives, educators, and philanthropists create transformative, unforgettable gatherings that allow them to step back from their daily routine, rediscover their motivations, and develop strategies for innovation.

In The Art of Gathering, Parker combines fascinating case studies culled from an international cast of characters with practices to follow—and rules to break— to connect more meaningfully with friends, colleagues, and strangers. She includes examples from her attempts to create connections, illustrating which tactics worked and which ones failed. Included among her success stories are “#IamHere Days,” self-organized adventures in which a group of people unplugs and explores a neighborhood, and “15 Toasts,” dinner parties where each guest has to toast to a common theme (the twist: the last one has to sing their toast). Parker’s interactive talks are both a demonstration of the techniques described in her books and a guide on how to implement her strategies.

Parker has helped numerous clients develop better in-person and virtual gatherings, including the Museum of Modern Art, LVMH, the World Economic Forum, meetup.com, and Civitas Public Affairs. Trained in conflict resolution, she has worked on peace processes in the Arab world, Southern Africa, and India, and is a founding member of the Sustained Dialogue Campus Network, where she worked on race relations on American college campuses. She has been appointed as a member of the World Economic Forum Global Agenda Council on Values and the New Models of Leadership Council, and is also a senior expert at Mobius Executive Leadership.

Parker’s The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why It Matters has been named a Best Business Book of the year by Amazon, Esquire Magazine, NPR, the Financial Times, 1-800-CEO-READS and Bloomberg. She has spoken on the TED Main Stage, and her TEDx talk on purpose has been viewed over one million times.

Her work has been featured in The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Forbes.com, Oprah.com, Real Simple Magazine, Glamour, The Today Show, and Morning Joe,  among others. Parker studied organizational

In this episode, Adam and Budi sit down with Kam Henderson to discuss the second instalment in our 2023 Audio New Play Festival, Barrelhouse.

Kam (he/him) is 
— a playwright, director, dramaturg, an artist.

His artistic voice centers on creating art of unrestrictive, creative boundaries. He believes art is to be experienced—especially with narratives that are not our own. And the development of his work is centered in three cardinal rules of creation: 

1. “I don’t make art for you to like.
2. I don’t make art for you to dislike.
3. I make art so art can be; that should be enough.”

These rules keep his work integral, free, and authentic and define how he carries himself and sees the world around him.
