    Episode 174: Returning to Old Work

    Send a text Today's episode is by request from Tali!  She asked: "how do you approach re-visiting a project or an idea without just seeing all the negatives and the things you'd change in the original?! Coming back into the rehearsal space and seeing the piece 3 months after I made it awoke all manner of discomfort in me. The great thing was I had no time to make changes, just work with what was there and focus on bringing the original intentions through. But if I'd had time ...... I wonder if I'd have destroyed it or if it would have evolved" Let's talk about it.  What you'll hear: This episode came up because of some old writing I found from a dead laptop 2:00A brief excerpt from found writing, dated July 9, 2013 5:00TLDR:  the answer comes at 10:00Given enough time, we could all ruin our own masterpieces.  Amazing quote from Jenny Tufts:  "The work is never done, it's only ever due."  16:50ALL ABOARD FOR THE LAST CYCLE EVER OF THE AUDACITY PROJECT!  20:00Don't go back to sleep. xoRachel Sign up here for monthly blasts and functional woo Find me on Instagram Support this podcast on Patreon
