Question: Is the initial producer part of the creation or the reaction?
I said 'Creation', but I want to be clear because I feel like a lot of people misunderstand this in our world. From the point of view of a show, a new musical, the actual show itself, the writer creates and everything that comes after that is a reaction to that creation.
But if a new show is lucky enough to start its life with a production already written into its future, then everyone on that production is... I guess co-creating is a good way to put it.
The whole team is creating this specific production, each person playing their individual role. But the show itself, the actual storytelling part: that was created by the writer/s, and everything else is interpretation of that initial creation.
Complex, isn't it?
