Working Conditions - backscript
… and we’re back! Did you miss me?
Ok, let’s get moving here. I’ve been quiet for a week, but I have quite a bit of stuff to write about. I’ve been thinking - or perhaps rethinking - about the context in which we perform. Why are we doing what we are doing where we are doing it?
The shortest answer tends to be MONEY or perhap RECOGNITION. But in the context of a Renaissance Faire, where we are, in theory, all in a small English village during the 1600’s… why would you be performing magic at a harvest / planting / other festival?
This week, I’m going to explore the context in which I perform, the character and the justification I give him for doing the things he does. I’m also going to be wandering around a concept I’m playing with which I call “organic magic”.
Onward
