When we talk about the work we do — the why of it — the foreword notion is always because we must.
We make theatre, because we are compelled to do so.
(Why do you do the things you do? Text us, we're interested).
Yes, there is something self-servingly gratifying about it.
The whole art thing, being an artist.
Nowadays, we hear 'creative' instead of 'artist'
That's cool. No, seriously, it is. Artists get little respect.
We all know there's something essential about it - innate to us, as a species.
We ALL know this.
Yet, as the days go on, it becomes increasingly clear for the informed populace that our so-called civilized world might not care to know what we ALL know, because 'it is not practical' this, or, 'what about money' that, and/or, 'so-and-so is a good leader because they went to so-and-so school'.
If we're being for real, what is also true is that where markets are concerned (just about everywhere), UNLESS whatever thing offers a substantial ROI or tax write-off, that thing-whatever might as well not exist.
During the first months of the on-going pandemic (yes, still) one of the few things that was simultaneously very scary and very exciting - creatively speaking - was the idea that because everything had been taken away, EVERYTHING was now possible.
So, it is 3 1/2 years into a 'post-Covid' world and we too are still figuring out what's possible...because, really, there's no going back.
That about covers the 'why' (scroll up if you got lost).
Typically, for us - your garden-variety working-class creatives - it's almost always more about the 'how'...
We'll just say that the principal work we are doing here, is experimental and interdisciplinary by default - we wear many hats and we wear them well.
