No Sense Of Belonging

The year began with a distinct lack of a script for an up-coming drama performance for the Singapore Youth Festival judging (not sure if they still call it that) due in late April. That situation has now been corrected and we actually have a script which might be reasonably referred to as finished - though subject to change, of course.

As to how we got to this point? Certainly not by a straight path. Indeed, what we're now doing was not even on my radar as the year began. I'd be hard-pressed to know who generated the basic concept behind our little piece - it just emerged out of various experiments at generating a storyline - and I reckon that it's almost impossible to say now where or who the various bits that constitute the whole came from. But it's nice to think of various drama guys sitting back at moments and thinking that was my idea really even as we all know that what we've got belongs to nobody and everybody.

It's the truly collaborative aspect of theatre that makes me love doing this stuff.
