Fosse in Film
A fun programme of films directed by Bob Fosse, funded by Leeds Inspired and supported by Scalarama Leeds Festival 2019. On researching for this strand, I came across much troubling information about Fosse, which transformed this programme into an opportunity to understand how do we (I) feel about our favourite, yet problematic artists, and how to engage with their work going forward.
