WORLDS: Anna Deavere Smith is an actor and a playwright who has been credited with devising a new form of theater: she performs monologues from her interviews of many people with different points of view about social crises in America. Her audiences are invariably riveted by her performances as they both project themselves onto the stories and discover other worldviews, finding themselves changed on the other side. She draws her audiences into visually sparse worlds by designing the language of her characters. As she says, she listens not only to what people have to say, but also to what they’re trying to say. Here, she speaks about the creative tool of empathy as detailed attention to others’ emotional experiences.
