The Candidate!
Rehearsals 3/11, 3/15, 3/17
Questions I’ve had:
What was the journey between the first rehearsal to a show outline?
This is unique to each show. The approach changes between different types of shows as well as circumstances.
How were big plot decisions made?
Some are made because inciting incidents and conflict are necessary. Others are made through group improvs and brainstorming.
How does scheduling a rehearsal work?
This is a continued conversation we are having, and I will probably get my most conducive answer when I will have a chance to schedule one myself.
For future interns: What is key background information to know when coming to work with Dangerous Productions?
Cool things learned:
Interactive and Immersive theater are different.
Interactive Theater- Untrained audience member has effect on show.
Interactors- Trained actors who know the show.
Spectactor- Anyone who walked of the street
- The Spectactor has causality
- They are always right
- They are not the foil
Anything ‘Spect’ does/doesn’t do is an offer
- Interactor can Follow or Resist
This work inserts the audience member into the world.
An advantage of interactive theater is that it gives the spectator stakes. It can build drama and relationships not just be activities.
Fun Quotes From Tyler:
“Make a big decision and see where it takes you”
Good Discussions had:
We had such a good valuable discussion about marketing a theater company as well as a marketing a space. I got a chance to think about theater from a more business oriented perspective. The idea of branding a theater company is not something I had really examined before. Patrons will go and see theater and then identify a type of work with a company, and fitting into that niche can be helpful to marketing a company. Needless to say, a patron of DP could get pretty confused about what type of work they are going to encounter when attending a show.
We also got to talk about group dynamics specific to creative teams. Its super valuable to know who you’re working with and also how they work. I was also introduced to Strengths Finder!
Excited about:
I am super jazzed for the next meeting with Tyler and Megan. Getting to check in, ask questions, and just learn a whole bunch is so great.
