What to talk about
...
With the director in the room
...
- Traditional questions:
- What went badly
- What could we have done to solve that issue
- What was the most unexpected thing
- What did you think of the way we do:
- interviews
- prod meetings
- rehearsals
- tech week
- anything else new that you tried for this show
- What went badly
- Ask the director for more general feedback to the Ensemble
- Ask actors/designers to give the director feedback
Then ask the director to leave (there might be excessive hugging)
...
Without the director in the room
...
- Any issues that arose
- Ask new designers how it went, what they wish we'd told them before they started...
- Any suggestions for future years
- Some cool/crazy ideas might come from this - let it flow, some of them have panned out into something great!
