Schwarzman Session - From Page to Screen With Zoe Kazan '05

Adaptation, change, and the possibilities of retelling stories we thought we knew. This Schwarzman Session will be led by actor, writer, and Yale Alumni Zoe Kazan '05. Lunch provided. With a career that has spanned acting, writing, and producing, Zoe Kazan ’05 has always wanted to adapt John Steinbeck’s East of Eden. Now on Netflix, EAST OF EDEN is a story with deep connections to Kazan who serves as the series’ writer, co-showrunner and executive producer. Join this Session for a conversation about how art making can be an act of self-portraiture and what we discover in the process of adapting existing works in contemporary times. Schwarzman Sessions are peer-led gatherings where conversations generate collaborations and move ideas into action. Because seats are limited, registrants will be automatically placed on the waitlist and will be notified via email if they are selected to participate.
