Artist-in-residence at the Center for American Progress, Anna Deavere Smith’s unique process combines journalistic interviews with the art of interpreting those words through performance. Her recent play about health care, Let Me Down Easy, saw an extended run in New York, and her prior work in theatre (Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992 and Fires in the Mirror) has garnered numerous awards. Recognized for her work in film and television, Smith has also written several books and is a professor at NYU. Award-winning journalist Michele Norris has hosted NPR's newsmagazine All Things Considered for eight years. Join Smith and Norris in conversation as they explore our national identity.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
