What I’m most excited about in this RLA project is being able to think more creatively—I’m just so excited to have to tell stories/experiments in new ways that excite me, and then I can share. I’ve been geeking out on YouTube videos on sound production (this guy is great), but I’ve also been following BBC writers room, and others.
I’m very excited to be working with sound and how to incorporate as an actual “character”, complete with “stage directions”, and I think it’ll mean making a new way to write scripts, so performers can really interact with the sound. Personally, I find this when I perform the Christmas Carol because I run the sound myself as I do the reading—I know when and where the sound is coming from, so I can interact with it. It was very true on the Dracula I developed a few years ago at MAC.
It’ll be neato to experiment with this, especially with things like the Iliad/Odyssey
