This performance piece, a meditation on the artistic process and an actual work session, featured Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Suzan-Lori Parks working on her newest writing project in the Randall Lobby of the Paramount Center at Emerson College, Boston. The audience was invited to come and watch her work and/or to share the space and get some of their own writing work done. During the last fifteen minutes of the performance Parks answered any questions the audience might have regarding their own work and their creative process.
