Your power as a theater will reside with people – not just those within your organization but also those in your community (Nelson, 2010, 109)
The past two weeks have seen Refract Theatre Company perform to an audience; firstly, to our tutor and secondly to our peers. The work-in-progress’ have been invaluable to our company in terms of furthering ideas, understanding where to develop and learning to operate with the critical feedback. All of these are important for our progress and the continued exploration of both topic and stimuli.
On the other hand, giving feedback is also a very good way to comment on and reflect with another group who are sharing the same journey. In my opinion, constructive discussion and criticism encourages work to move beyond your own insights of what it should be and look like and allow you to craft and engage with the potential of the piece thus far.
These sessions prove vital to me as Marketing Manager in terms of reflecting the shows content within any externally facing materials and show/ brochure copy. The aim being to translate the dynamic performance and style of When You See It into print, and with the support of audience members reflection, hopefully this will be achieved.
