A little note on Collaboration

Collaboration is one of the reasons we do the work that we do in the theatre. Collaboration should elevate process. It is the thing that hovers in the center of a venn diagram -- it's what couldn't exist individually and appears only when our visions intersect at a point. Collaboration is transparency of expectation and information. Collaboration is what can make or break an experience in the theatre. It can mean the difference between learning something, creating the possibility of excellence, and going only as far as your ego will allow, which is usually just what's on the page. It is the ability to create the space in which something might happen. It is permission to ask why? and what? It is the ability to say no. It is the power to say yes.
