She brings a few pages of dialogue to a workshop and has the actors engage with it. It might work for some in the audience but not others. Does it land with the right people? Again, it’s not fraught, because the risks were understood when the process began. Now is not the time for reassurance: it’s the time for useful feedback. For art to be generous it must change the recipient. If it doesn’t, it’s not working (yet). But realizing it’s not working is an opportunity to make it better. The practice is agnostic about the outcome. The practice remains, regardless of the outcome.
