After speaking with Mimi Lien, I had the opportunity to sit down two days later with Walter Bilderback, the dramaturge of the Wilma Theater. Whereas the interview with Mimi Lien had been conducted in the quiet of the theater foyer, the interview with Bilderback took place in a coffee shop on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania. In true Guerilla Theater fashion, the listener is provided the additional soundtrack of music, chatter, and eating. As dramaturge, Bilderback was responsible for bringing historical context to the director and actors. But, for the Life of Galileo, Bilderback had an additional responsibility – the organization of a panel discussion, entitled The Galileo Project, conducted over the course of the production. Partly inspired by the Dangerous Ideas debate within the Online magazine, The Edge, and supported by a grant from the Templeton Foundation as well as the Pennsylvania Humanities Council. Both the Edge and the Templeton Foundation promote new and diverse ways to explore difficult ideas. According to its website, “the mandate of the Edge Foundation is to promote inquiry into and discussion of intellectual, philosophical, artistic, and literary issues, as well as to work for the intellectual and social achievement of society;” while the Templeton Foundation understands its mission (quoting its website) to “serve as a philanthropic catalyst for discovery in areas engaging life’s biggest questions. These questions range from explorations into the laws of nature and the universe to questions on the nature of love, gratitude, forgiveness, and creativity.”
