NOTES FROM THE COLLABORATORS:
Dana -The show started off as just an idea. A little bit of a crazy one. A devised piece will always be ambitious. Starting from scratch is definitely not the easy way. But here we are now, proud to show you all what we’ve made. We’ve come a long way.
We’ve created the show using prompts that we came up with. Prompts are active. They make youdosomething. We made an entire show with prompts so I give you, the audience, a prompt of your own:
Try to let this show wash over you like music
Thank you.
Judit- It is okay to not know. Reflect and challenge the obvious answers; but do not spend too long doing so, the train will not wait for you.
Maggie- Perhaps we are born alone, but we can choose to be alone together.
