Conversation with Carla Stillwell - Icons, Part 2

Carla Stillwell is an art maker, and she makes no apologies for it. She holds that personal excavation should be central to our craft – we have to dig.

She finds no subject or medium of expression off limits. Equally at home in drama, sketch, musicals, satire or seriousness, Carla has but the one goal – DIG until you find the truth. Then show the truth to the audience.

She is an award-winning actor, a two-time Emmy Award winning director, and the founder of the Stillwell Institute.

Here she sits down to share how “a little fat girl from the southside” made her mark in the culture business. In true Stillwell fashion, she’ll tell it like it happened – the good, the bad, and the ugly.
