Co-Creation: Fifty Years in the Making

by Conrad Bishop, Elizabeth Fuller

In the course of their fifty years of marriage, Bishop & Fuller have collaborated as performers, playwrights, producers and puppeteers in bringing hundreds of stories to thousands of audiences. Now they tackle their own story — a chronicle of parenting, uprootings, success and failures, polyamory, spiritual quests, strict accounting practices, dancing naked around bonfires, and perpetual improvisation.

The memoir is told in dual voices, from their approach to the intersection to their current garden of earthly delights, with eddies of perspective on risk, patience, laughter, honesty, eros and the process of collaboration in a mating.

[Eli Bishop]

I don't know how to even begin talking about this book, because it's both by and about my family. All I can really say is it's extremely interesting. Sorry guys, that's the best I can do.
