Royal Shakespeare Co's Michael Boyd to speak at Columbia University on November 6th

The Miller Theatre on Columbia Morningside Campus will present Mind, Memory and the Actor: A discussion between Michael Boyd (Artistic Director, Royal Shakespeare Company) and Dr. Oliver Sacks (Professor of Neurology and Psychiatry, Columbia University).

Following his NY Public Library lecture in June, Michael Boyd continues his discussion with New Yorkers about his approach to theatre-making, performance and the RSC. This unique hour-long discussion, moderated by Columbia University President Lee C. Bollinger, will explore the intersection of art and science. Topics include the nature of identity, narrative, and performance, and the neurology of an actor's memory.
