Alli Ross & Alyssa Schmidt: Thinking Beyond Product (dance / dramaturgy‪)‬ Reflections on Music and Nature

How can we collaborate with the environment around us as theater-makers? What is the relationship between “process” and “product”? How can we see beyond the goal of a project to understand and honor its surprising reverberations outside the so-called “actual project”? Dramaturg Allyssa Schmidt and movement artist Alli Ross, both professors at Boston Conservatory at Berklee, help me ask and answer these questions on and off mic. They not only talk about their ideas, but implement them in the way they teach and make art… AND in the way they do an interview for a podcast: Outdoors, by a pond, welcoming the water sounds, wind, hikers, and helicopters overhead.
