I\u2019m *making* an online fundraising event for a school.  I thought maybe people would gain something by seeing my process for creating, rehearsing, collaborating, and performing the event\u2026 So, here I am sharing.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Today it’s about show flow and game structure. I spent some time laying it out in a spreadsheet. I have the basic chunks figured out, but I need help. Tomorrow, I’m gonna have a call with my favorite director Stefan Haves<\/a> to go over it and get some confidence in it. I’m using him because…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. I trust him<\/li>
  2. He knows my “operating manual” (how I function)<\/li>
  3. He knows my abililties<\/li>
  4. He knows show tempo better than anyone<\/li>
  5. Things are low stakes for him because it’s not his show<\/li>
  6. Two heads are better than one<\/li>
  7. I don’t have a test audience, so I need input<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    I am not from the theater<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    I don’t start with collaboration. I am often resistant to direction and ensembles. I am tempted to make things on my own. Sometimes I do go solo, but when I want something done quickly and well, I gotta lean on someone else. Sitting with a keyboard and fighting myself gets me only so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I can think very well by myself. I can ponder and write well with no distractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In conversation, though, that thinking inflates. It becomes a real thing with volume. Nothing’s really real until it’s shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I’ve gotta tell myself over and over “nobody’s independent” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
