STUDENT
PRAISE “There
is something very wonderful and powerful about being told anything is possible
onstage – and being given the opportunity to make the impossible happen.”
“I felt completely unlimited and encouraged to rack my brain for the
most unusual, compelling, and nontraditional things I wanted to do onstage.
And the results, while not 100% what I envisioned, made me ecstatic.”
“How freeing the lack of limitations were! The freedom to make anything
onstage I want. A big gift. Thank you.”
“I thought it was perfect, just being able to do what we wanted. I liked
the guidance and the ability to use you as a resource.”
“[I found] Freedom! - What it feels like to know anything can happen
onstage. I hope to keep utilizing this freedom in my future work. Thank you!!!!”
“[This workshop has offered me] the freedom of owning and creating a
whole piece.”
“[I learned] that you can do anything onstage. Anything.”
“It is possible to do everything! You can have a job where you start
your own company, act in it, write the play, design it ... Everything! It’s
something I want to do! Everything!”
“A new process of writing, and the joy of creating something profound
in less than ten hours. This just proves that you don’t need weeks of
rehearsal! Just do it!”
“[I loved] to try and put the impossible onstage, because you cannot
limit yourself when you think that way.”
“[I felt] the ability to really do anything onstage. It was invaluable
to have you open these doors.”
