Making an Audience Happy is Not the Point ——————————————- When storytellers base their success on making the audience happy, this is like a parent basing their success on making the kids happy. In doing so, they are giving the power of discernment over to someone who may not be properly qualified. A state of awe […]

Theater is Innate ——————– Storytelling didn’t pop up by accident – it is a natural and innate way for the human nervous system to process thoughts, experiences, and emotions.

“Monstrous Comedy” When this phrase pops up for me my deep self gets excited saying “Yes, that’s it!” This phrase is so powerful because it contains a key code that reminds me of what is real.

When someone is expressing from their genius, authentically, it can land as deeply scary. It’s not “business as usual”. It’s exciting, but also very much a pattern interrupt.
