ARTS - The Bear Educational Theatre
Guest: David Fisher, artistic director & founder of the Bear Educational Theatre
David Fisher has gone from being at the fringes of the theatrical to having his own theatre company - but he considers himself a teacher more than anything else. he talks about how the Bear came about, how it works, why it's different from "evening theatre", and how they are adapting and adjusting to an online world due to the pandemic.
