The speakers discuss the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on their personal and professional lives, from halted projects and uncertain futures in the film and live theater industries to challenges of parenting during lockdown. They also reflect on the emergence of online performances and their mixed feelings towards it.
Screen and stage polymath Neil Patrick Harris discusses the power of immersive theater, the struggles of parenting during a pandemic, and how learning trapeze taught him to stay calm under pressure.
