Posted in A Note to Directors, Creativity, Disentangling Thoughts on Theatre, Got Me Thinkin', Thoughts on Leadership on January 7, 2019 by RobALottWhen sitting at home, an audience member holds the control to what they watch and how they watch it, right in their hand.
Missed a line? They can go back ten seconds.
Bored with this part? They can fast forward.
They can adjust the volume. They can pause. They can rewind. They can stop and they can play.
However, when an audience member comes to the theatre, they give up their control of the performance.
Therefore, we must control it for them. They are counting on us to do so.
We can go back just a bit for the missed line. We can get through the boring parts. We can pause. We can be louder and quieter. We can stop. And we can most definitely play.
The audience is counting on us to take control for them.
