Yesterday, I was emailed about the Canadian Stage program at York. It's an exciting time, because not only is it my first direct contact with a renowned Canadian theatre company where I would love to work, but they have also given me a photograph to analyze/provide commentary on.
I am a creative person, and analysis is not good enough for me. Sure, I could take a Picasso painting and write 800 words on how it makes me feel, on what techniques were used in it, but that's boring. I'm a director/actor/writer. I want to create a story around the photograph, like how I did in college with the Goya project; it was even for a directing class.
I also feel that this will make me stand out. The average director is simply going to provide a very clear analysis of what the picture is and, probably, how they would stage a photograph to match it. I don't know that people are going to think about coming up with an entire narrative as well. It'll be a written live action version of the photograph, which, I think, is pretty cool.
