Nō Studios' Lisa Caesar Discusses Creating a Downtown Destination for Artists and Activists

"We just want to support connections between people. I think what we’re really hoping to achieve is the dismantling of barriers whether they be physical barriers. We invite everyone into our building regardless of what they look like or their demographic or who they are, but we also want to dismantle emotional and cultural barriers if those barriers are preventing people from collaborating and working together."

Lisa Caesar is the Chief Operating Officer for Milwaukee’s Nō Studios, an artistic and creative event space in Downtown Milwaukee for creatives, community activists and others to engage and interact. She resides in Westchester, NY with her husband, three children and a labradoodle named Darcy. While in New York, Caesar took the time to talk to the Shepherd Express about Nō Studios.
