"Remarkable...The real beauty of Real Talk/Kip Talk was not its endless self-reference or its anticipated punnery...[it] was the assertion that another name for [our] much-maligned echo chamber is community."
                 —Paul Ketchum, Culturebot

REAL TALK / KIP TALK is a series of live talk shows about the state of contemporary performance in New York City, hosted by Kippy Winston, media mogul, internet sensation, and citizen of the world. Formatted like a talk show but with room for debate, REAL TALK / KIP TALK blurs the lines between art and life and challenges participants of all stripes and creeds to engage in real talk about our starry performance landscape.
