The Delta Boys...
..toe the line between spontaneous/organic vs. "gettin' s**t done."
..collaborate in whatever iteration we can fit ourselves into to locate a good script, and then produce it. we've come to reject directorial hierarchy; we share tasks and responsibilities evenly according to our strengths, and we honor each person’s contributions.
..mindfully include everyone’s voice and vi
sion into the process. we listen intently to each other as performers and collaborators, and communicate both our support and disagreement with respect and compassion. when in doubt, we trust the actors who are in the scene to make the decision that's best for them.
..dig into joy. we're doing a play, we're playing with each other! and our shows are us playing together in front of an audience.
..meet each other where we’re at, remembering we are people first and foremost. we know and respect each other deeply as people.
..make good cheap theater without overhead costs or a business model. we're in it for the art and the creative process! although we would like to make more money doing this theater thing. just sayin'.
...want to blow up boring theater with work and words that move both us and audiences!
..have big love for each other. which leads to trust. which leads to a feeling that anything's possible onstage.
