[DOC] It's What I Do: A Photographer's Life of Love and War by Lynsey Addario at Arts-Photography

Description

No matter what you call it; the entire artistic process from concept to curtain up happens in a 24-hour period in front of a paying audience; the scripts have yet to be written. The concepts have yet to be conceived.30 Actors; 6 Writers and 6 Directors meet for the first time on a Friday night thriving on nervous excitement. The proceedings take place in the foyer of the theatre; where; in 24 hours; these gathered artisans will perform their hearts out; on stage. To keep this event true to its name; minimal information is disseminated to the gathering. The Actors need to bring 1 piece of costume and 1 prop; no rules or instruction of what to bring; keeping it random. The Writers bring their laptops and for good measure; a dictionary. The Directors are armed with their true grit and open mind.On the stroke of nineteen-hundred hours; 42 artisans are hushed in front of the Producers. The rules are simple; write a script; approximately 10-minutes in length and give each Actor equal stage weighting.
