Welcome to the Playwright’s Process Podcast! A monthly process journal about writing, craft and the creative process that will prompt you to think about the way you work and talk about your writing.
Episode 1 is about sharing in between projects. As a creative, it can be easier to show up online when we have a finished work to share and promote, but in between projects it can feel vulnerable talking about what we’re writing while things are half-formed. But I don’t think talking about playwriting, theatre and performance (or whatever art form you work in) should have as much pressure and weight as a finished work. So this podcast is the first step of an experiment in showing up in between projects and sharing along the way.
I hope you’ll get something out of listening and it will prompt you to think about the way you like to make work, as well as encourage other artists to talk about the artistic process as it unfolds.
This episode was originally recorded in July 2020. You can watch the video diary here.
