RAT "The Director and the Community"

[nick <nick@ratconference.com>]

Hi all,

Anne Cattaneo is planning to bring a bus full of directors to the
Philadelphia RAT Conference from the Lincoln Center Theater Directors Lab. 

http://www.lct.org/dirlab.html

She was asking if rat could accommodate a roundtable on something like "The
Director and the Community."  Often directors are "jobbed into" a city to
direct a play.  Can a director in such circumstances really understand the
community in which the work is being presented?  Or is such discovery even
warranted?  Perhaps it's the director's "outside eye" on the community that
has value.  Etc.

Ralph Lewis of NYC's Peculiar Works and Michael LeLand of Philadelphia's
Theatre Double are trying to gather some ideas and get a sense of any
directors or others who would like to participate in this.  

Email them off-list if you want <theatredouble@aol.com> <Pwprl@aol.com> or
share some ideas here.
