Just to add to this interview-- Much of this interview took place before the rehearsals process began, so it's a little unfortunate that we didn't get to address the working process more fully in this thoughtful article. Because of that, I feel it's important to mention now, perhaps a little retroactively, that the process with director Juliane Taylor, lighting designer Kim Cowan, the actors (Lana Dieterich, Michael Kranes, Ann Taylor and Faith Taylor) and hosts Jason Tremblay and Odile Nicole Del Giudice has been nothing short of outstanding. Each of the artists involved has brought their full acumen to the process and has contributed to the development of the script and to the presentation in a very meaningful way. Over the course of the week (we began rehearsals on Sunday) the process has been one of trust, exploration, smart questions, and very diligent work. It is my hope that the "Under Construction" series continues with full support of the community, as I feel it is a very dynamic process to develop and present new work. We all look forward to sharing our creations and discoveries with an audience, and learning from how this piece plays out in front of live, thoughtful people.
