Communication, Collaboration, and Flexibility: The Mores of Success

Theatre is a truly unique art form, as we work collaboratively as a group to create, teach, and entertain. While some studio art is created by a collective or team, there is no one person theatre. We are obligated by the nature of our passion to work alongside others, to share in a vision, and to help realize something much greater than one's self. Swimming in a sea of theatre artists are the facilitators like the technical director, or TD for short. We are artistic individuals, large-scale sculptors of environments, but our endeavors are grounded in a pragmatic knowledge of material sciences, tried and true construction methodologies, organized behaviors, and physics. These analytical activities and practical knowledge bases are blended with our artistic sensibilities and drive to create, giving us the unique foundation necessary to succeed as a theatrical TD.
