Question.2452 - In her TED talk "Four American Characters," (Links to an external site.) Anna Deavere Smith shares examples of the "documentary theater" work and process, in four characters from different shows. This is also a shorter example of how all her solo shows are: an introduction to the whole performance, then an introduction to each piece, followed by the piece itself, and so on. She talks to the audience throughout the performance.In no more than one page, write your understanding of the impact that having many characters of different races, genders, backgrounds, etc. being performed in their own words by the same "vessel," in this case, a black woman, does to the larger thematic vision of plays dealing with conflict and the bigger, encompassing idea of an "American character."
