Commentary/Analysis

Q: So how has working with such a big team changed the dynamics of collaboration - is it now the most democratic way of allowing the voices of all artists in a production to be on board?

Alvin Tan: Through this production, I have become aware of some things. First that roles can be shared and changed - depending on the personalities, or if you will - the egos, involved. As for democracy, I have come to realise that the spirit of it is important in the exploratory phase of the production, but that sometimes too the process can fail - and that's when the exploration has to stop and time for an over-seeing vision, 'the Outside Eye' to prevail.
