## Caption

Talking to Rukmini Vasanth (rukmini_vasanth), you begin to see the loose-limbed joy of play at work. She takes a person apart and puts her back together differently, looking at the little details that make a character feel alive. There is always another question to ask, another way to try. Mary Oliver’s instructions for living come to mind: “Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it.” Forty minutes with Rukmini and you think: what a way to spend a life.
