(What is Flux Sunday?) We’re back! After a break in August for our 4th Annual Retreat at Little Pond and our Food:Soul of Volleygirls, we’re back for the month of September. We started with a more intimate crowd than usual, but that was lucky for me as I was the only playwright (beedle dee, deedle…
(This is a continuation of thoughts on Ensemble structure – read the first post here.) I just read Rob Cross’ post on ONA, aka Organizational Network Analysis, via Beth’s Blog on nonprofits and Social Media (just the way to start a Sunday).

(H/T Bill George) Leveraging Investments In Creativity, a ten-year national initiative to improve the conditions for artists working in all disciplines, is holding a survey to see how the recession if affecting artists. I filled out the survey in a neat fifteen minutes, and they’re asking good questions, so if you have a moment, please…
One of the exciting things about engaging with the blogosphere is finding moments of common ground amidst separate discussions. Like the physicists of string theory before Witten’s M-theory, we are all unknowingly using different languages to describe the same underlying thing.
