Penn and Teller go behind the scenes with artists in theater, sculpture and photography to discover their creative process. Director Julie Taymor, of the the acclaimed Broadway hit The Lion King, creates visual theater using puppets, masks and music. Sculptor Nancy Graves works with balance, cranes and street material to create gravity defying sculpture. Photographer and folklorist Carrie May Weems shows how to use composition and content to create meaning in photographs. Willian Wegman helps out by focusing on one of his Weimaraner dogs. |
