I had a very curious incident today... #curiousincidentofthedoginthenighttime #shnsf #theatredays (at SHN Golden Gate Theatre)
1/29/22: This thought is most specifically coming from my partner—but we were deep into a convo and he got us to this idea: For some reason, we (meaning society? I’m not sure what ‘we’ means, but you get the gist) value PLOT over FORM/STRUCTURE/POETRY/STYLE (ie HOW the story is told) every time. People say, “What a great story!” Do they mean that? Or do they mean the experience of that story being told was meaningful and impactful to them. And that could mean a lot of things. This came up because I was mentioning that as a director, and as a newly-forming writer, I’m actually driven and most inspired not at all by plot—but rather by form and structure. You know: HOW the story gets told. Best example: Curious Incident… is a great story, it’s fine. But honestly, I’m not overly bowled over by it. But Marianne Elliott’s concept and direction? Almost nothing beats it. Once is another great example—the story is good, but for real: it’s just another story about love and passion. I love those, but there are many. This one doesn’t stand out. But John Tiffany and Steven Hoggett’s manifestation of those set of plot points and Enda Walsh’s way of organizing the ideas? That’s the difference. So also, when we talk about who came up with the STORY versus the actual writing of it—story seems to be everything. It’s like, once you have a good story, it’s in the bag. And I’m just here to posit the importance of the actual end manifestation of said story. Also, I want to be clear: I’m not saying story isn’t important—it is. It’s just not THE ONLY important thing, nor is it the only reason why a piece is successful.

Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time opening night! An ambitiously beautiful show for the barn. I wrote more than two hours worth of music, scapes, and effects for this one. Maybe I will release a remix version club dub remix. #curiousincidentofthedoginthenighttime #hackmatackplayhouse #berwickme #theatreinabarn (at Hackmatack Playhouse) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzeUBahnlmp/?igshid=o99xltycnm7v
