Process/Product

Day three of our practitioner study (Station House Opera's Julian Maynard Smith) and the group has been thrashing ideas around for our "showing" (not performance, tomorrow evening). We have refined our concept / tested our interaction and representation and discussed at length the direction of the work...

I am still interested in the process that leads to any conceived product (which is going to be "made" live in front of the audience) - This could, I feel have the ability to be powerful / engaging as it is essentially a simple idea, BUT we shall only see when we put it all together in front of the audience tomorrow...

I have just found the transcript from Skype conversations between our two groups (one on site and one in the studio theatre)...perhaps this is a useful document of process? It also documents the problem Rachel expressed today of feeling set aside from the group - isolated, removed from the process (despite feeding directly into it via the live link)
