What do you do if you want to deepen your understanding of theater history in theatrical production?
It’s important to keep reviewing the classic plays from all cultures, from kabuki to koodiyattam and from Greek to Cambodian puppet theatre to all forms of storytelling and theatre practices. Immersing myself in all forms of theatre and finding the interdisciplinary connections to them helps me to utilize each form in my current and future theatre productions. Theatre is fluid and the storytelling methods are beneficial through many mediums. It doesn’t matter if it is a standard theatre in the park or a multi-sensory experience, the importance of effective connections with the audience utilizing theatrical techniques is still valuable and helps the communication through understanding.

What are the best ways to stay focused when writing for a long time?
When writing for long periods of time, it is important to have some background, non-vocal music, playing to help you stay focused. Ambient music is the best, it doesn't demand your attention, but keeps the flow of time going. Also, making sure to work in snack and rest breaks into the schedule. While it may be temping, looking at social media will distract the mind and not allow you to stay focused on the task. A simple walk or maybe a short game on your phone may be more helpful. The goal is to balance your mind on the task, but taking time away before your brain is fried.

What are some creative ways to market a theatrical production to a younger audience?
Theatre is important more now than ever. It allows everyone to connect on a very visceral level. To help younger people find theatre productions social media may be a simple area, but the most important are classroom visits, mall showings, libraries, craft fairs or other public forums. Free introduction classes or clinics as well as special pricing is also a valuable tool. The goal is engagement and helping the children feel involved in the experience. It's all about immersion and direct contact is the beginning.

You’re struggling to improve your team’s design. How can prototyping tools help you?
There are so many tools available now that choosing the right one is based on several elements: past experience with software, type of OS and cross-platform compatibility. While programs for animation such as Unity are phenomenal because of the Linux based platform, other form such as Adobe Animator and even independent apps can be just as useful. The most important aspect is ease of use, ability to all teams to understand and quickly have access to the tools is paramount. Can the team see it on their phones, tablets, computers? For example Zoho Notebook is completely useable on many OS and devices. Make sure everyone on the team can easily learn and use the tool. Animation, Communication, Workflow and more can be accomplished.
