This video documents the Inside Story Festival and Symposium: Performance, Biography & Biology which was held at the University of Wisconsin-Madison from December 4--12, 2010.  The festival featured a week of performances, films, workshops, presentations and seminars exploring the connections between biography and biology — the bodies we inhabit and the stories we tell about ourselves. The festival included work from Helen Paris and Leslie Hill's London-based theatre company, Curious, and students from their Autobiology course, as well as an international range of guest artists, speakers, and scholars including Lois Weaver, Suzanne Anker and Gretchen Schiller.

The Arts Institute at the University of Wisconsin-Madison welcomed Helen Paris and Leslie Hill as fall 2010 Interdisciplinary Artists in Residence. While in residence, Paris and Hill curated the Inside Story Festival.
