The #dance performance Paper Stories this past weekend included a display of personal keepsakes from each dancer. I was a performer and this was part of my installation. #theatercollective

You could hear the crackle of paper and the crackle of fire in the dance performance this weekend of Paper Stories: things could have gone differently. It was a great experience! #TheatreSky #TheaterCollective #Dance

I live for stories about "The Sound of Music," a soundtrack (from the Broadway musical with Mary Martin) I memorized before I was six.

This time last year I was taking a risk: Working on a performance with people across the political divide to explore how to manage our differences. Thanks to the New York Theatre Workshop! And their Mind the Gap project! #TheatreSky #TheaterCollective

Playwrights can do math: fewer theaters out there for our plays can appear. DIY is wise

Nothing says "arts expert" like a national intelligence background. Also, the "Golden Age"? "Honeybun," anyone? "Singing in the Rain" where the guys do "Sisters"? Mary Sunshine? Bye forever, Kennedy Center 😰- this just dealt you the final blow. #TheaterCollective #PerformingArts

From Reading to Rewrite: A Peek at How Self-Produced Plays Change Retrospective, a new comedy, by T.J. Elliott introduced at a January 16th reading at TheaterLab "I can’t understand how anyone can write without rewriting everything over and over again."Leo Tolstoy Readings help rewritings. The generous adventurous people​​ who come to the reading of a new play​ help to shape​ its​ next iteration​ through both their reactions in the moment​ — laughs, gasps,​ silences​, even groans sometimes​ —​ and what they were willing to​ tell afterwards​.​ But even before the audience steps into your reading room, the actors and the director have animated the characters in such a way that the idea of the play can never be quite the same as it appeared on the page beforehand.

Another chapter in our book on 13 Ways of Looking at Self-Producing based upon our experience with ten such adventures. #playwright #theatercollective

Masters of Allusion: The Art of Poetic Reference (Gift Article) Poets have a way of incorporating other poets into their work. Our columnist approves.

"Allusion is, unlike intertextuality, deliberate, and, unlike plagiarism, meant to be recognized. It presumes “a community of knowledge,” a phrase I like for its fellow feeling. " 1/2
