The theme of any piece is the backbone for the production. It is why the piece exists and what the cast and crew are hoping to convey and communicate to the audience. When creating your own show, establishing the theme is a crucial first step before any work can be done. Our theme, which will be developed by our cast, has already started to take shape! One of the most important exercises during our workshop in November was a storying telling and writing activity using the actors' personal life experiences. Given the prompt: "Describe a time in your life when power was taken away from you or when you realized you had great power over someone or something." The chart below organizes some of the observations made from that exercise.
