Today’s marvelous guests are Avital Asuleen and Jeff Raab! Avital Asuleen is a Brooklyn-based director, choreographer, performer, and educator (I have taken her incredible tap classes at Mark Morris Dance Center, check it out!). Jeff Raab is a NYC-based theatre artist, musician, an educational theatre teaching artist, and a professional origami artist/teacher. Avi and Jeff co-created the cabaret-style show Tonight for the Tapir together during 2020.
Today, we dig into the magic of creative collaboration in a global pandemic. Just because the world is upside down, doesn’t mean your creativity has to slow down.
If you want to learn:
- How the seed of an idea comes to life
- Why it’s so freeing to work in collaboration
- What to do if you don’t like writing on your own
- How Tonight for the Tapir evolved into a radio play
- What it’s like to create from a space of play
- How to create a priming process to introduce an audience to a space
- Why limitation is creation
- Actionable tips to set-up your own structure to create based on your strengths and weaknesses
- Why Jeff doesn’t call “acting” acting anymore
- Why Avi believes it's important to meet the collaborators who show up on your path
And SO much more! Avi, Jeff and I are super excited to hear what resonates with you, and how you are planning your own projects!
