1/29/22: This thought is most specifically coming from my partner—but we were deep into a convo and he got us to this idea: For some reason, we (meaning society? I’m not sure what ‘we’ means, but you get the gist) value PLOT over FORM/STRUCTURE/POETRY/STYLE (ie HOW the story is told) every time. People say, “What a great story!” Do they mean that? Or do they mean the experience of that story being told was meaningful and impactful to them. And that could mean a lot of things. This came up because I was mentioning that as a director, and as a newly-forming writer, I’m actually driven and most inspired not at all by plot—but rather by form and structure. You know: HOW the story gets told. Best example: Curious Incident… is a great story, it’s fine. But honestly, I’m not overly bowled over by it. But Marianne Elliott’s concept and direction? Almost nothing beats it. Once is another great example—the story is good, but for real: it’s just another story about love and passion. I love those, but there are many. This one doesn’t stand out. But John Tiffany and Steven Hoggett’s manifestation of those set of plot points and Enda Walsh’s way of organizing the ideas? That’s the difference. So also, when we talk about who came up with the STORY versus the actual writing of it—story seems to be everything. It’s like, once you have a good story, it’s in the bag. And I’m just here to posit the importance of the actual end manifestation of said story. Also, I want to be clear: I’m not saying story isn’t important—it is. It’s just not THE ONLY important thing, nor is it the only reason why a piece is successful.

brettjbanakis A house is not a home. So nice to revisit happy thoughts of Burt Bacharach upon hearing of his passing. I will never forget our tender, poetic, and abstract reimagining of Burt's music catalog, beautifully conceived by @kriabko and @stevenhoggett It came at an important time in my life and career, brought me closer to @dogheart7 and @k8spelman and I will never forget his breathtakingly beautiful songs. Thanks Burt.
