United Students for the Arts
03.25.11 | Permalink | 2 CommentsIt is a discouraging time to be a liberal in the United States. About every other day, I’m calling my representatives to ask them to stand up for the programming that I feel is vital to our quality of life — the National Endowment for the Arts, public broadcasting, women’s health issues, the clean air [...]

Devised Theatre: Apocalypse as sequel
03.14.11 | Permalink | 2 CommentsSo, here we are. Week two and hip-deep in the initial group dramaturgy of Bright Alchemy’s devising process, which started with the question “Why do we as a species feel compelled to tell stories of our own destruction?” It’s very early, but I’m already beginning to get that familiar feeling of drowning in images and [...]

What We Talk About When We Talk About: #NeverBeDark
Some days the internet seems like nothing more than a jargon factory. It pops out new words, phrases and memes that we are somehow supposed to instinctively know moments after coinage and knowledge of the day’s watchword becomes a hard demarcation of inclusion or exclusion. It is imperative for those pockets of the internet that [...]

Your Real Theater Job
01.10.11 | Permalink | 5 CommentsYour real job is relationships. No new surprise there. You build relationships through shared meaning and narrative. Still, no great revelation. Meaning is through shared language. What are you creating to bring new language to the collective discussion? Dr. Seuss (a master in the use of language) put it best when he wrote the book [...]

Punching Holes in Walls
11.22.10 | Permalink | 2 CommentsA lot of the cross talk that happens on the #2amt tag on Twitter is, at its core, about gatekeepers.

10.22.10 | Permalink | 3 CommentsLooks like everyone’s wrestling this week, whether it’s playwrights & critics, casts & audiences, critics & artistic directors, journalists & editors… We’ve also been thinking, arguing and questioning what we do and why we do it.
