ON VALIDATING YOUR ACTORS' CONTRIBUTIONS

Many don't know that TCD*S, emerged from listening to my students' frustrations with the casting process. TCD*S is a direct result of listening to the suggestions of three students. Molly Asher, Perry Blackshear, and Cole Wiley.

During our afternoon session yesterday, Jarreau Carrillo mentioned working with actors during the writing process. And so, I asked actors about their willingness to workshop new scripts with our writer/directors, during the writing process.


The actors in this group are quite open to our writer/directors reaching out to them "directly" during the writing process toward helping develop their material and establishing collaborative relationships in the process.
