DESCRIPTION:
Paola Prestini combines wild imagination and controlled practicality on an almost molecular level—it’s as if both are fused together in her DNA. In a conversation with Frank J. Oteri and filmed by Molly Sheridan, Prestini explained how she balances all her activities. Whether she’s talking about her own multimedia operas or VisionIntoArt, the interdisciplinary arts production company she co-founded 15 years ago, she tends to think big but she always manages to make it happen.
