Charlie Dolman The Dust is in the Details
from Burning Man LIVE · host Stuart Mangrum, Charlie Dolman
If Black Rock City were a ship, Charlie Dolman would be its skipper. The SS BRC is already taking shape in the dry docks of our collective effort, and at some point later this summer it will slide into the dusty seas of northern Nevada. As the event operations director, Charlie leads a crew of leaders responsible for pretty much all aspects of city infrastructure, and for planning for just about every operational contingency, from fire and rain to, who knows, a downpour of frogs. On fire. If you see him on playa he’s the fast-moving, soft-spoken guy with three radios, a cell phone and a pager (yes, a pager!). In this rare interview he sits still long enough to talk with Stuart about the people making BRC greener, less commodified, and more inclusive. He also passes Stuart's quiz about being a Brit in the US, and defends marmite as a comestible.Burning Man Project Staff: Charlie DolmanBurning Man Project’s CEO Introduces Charlie Dolman (2012) LIVE.BURNINGMAN.ORG
