I am fascinated by storytelling glue. Anytime I see someone who's good at it, I stop and wonder, 'How'd they 'do this? Why can't I tear myself away?
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was reading a book... 'the history of glue' - I couldn't put it down.
I actually think one of my strengths is my storytelling.
When you're working in a collaborative storytelling medium, every step of the way, you're opening yourself up.
Maybe what I'm trying to do is heal others. I think what we're trying to do in theater is heal someone.
Storytelling helps us understand each other, translate the issues of our times, and the tools of theater and film can be powerful in helping young people to develop communication/collaboration skills, let alone improving their own confidence.
I've always been drawn to stories and telling them; whether it was through being a part of theater when I was a little kid, or film, or with music, there's just been an innate desire to feel that connection.
I was always tearing stuff apart to see how it worked.
If I didn't do something perfectly, I had to do it again... I grew up with a glue gun pointed at my head.
When I was coming out of college, storytelling was very much something you did with pencil and paper, so the technological platform versatility, I think, is really valuable.
I'm the glue that holds everything together.
