BWW Blog: Gift of Time - Part 3
by Student Blogger: Audrey Myers - May 19, 2020

BWW Blog: Gift of Time - Part 1
by Student Blogger: Audrey Myers - April 27, 2020
Theatre as an art is inherently collaborative. It takes a team. What happens when we are separated from our ensemble? How can we continue to create in isolation? Most of the time the creativity in our craft is assigned. Don't get me wrong, this doesn't negate our art by any means, but as theatre makers, we are usually creating in the context of a larger project. We often have little control over the big picture: such as being cast as a role in a musical or asked to design the set for a specific play.

BWW Blog: Community That Surpasses the Distance
by Student Blogger: Audrey Myers - March 23, 2020
Frustrated, restless, anxious. Do these feelings sound familiar? The times that I should be up in front of the class performing or directing children in a TYA scene, I am now spending staring at my computer screen. I want to be doing things, not simply discussing doing things. I find myself grieving: Grieving the missed opportunities, grieving my lack of control, grieving the loss of my immediate and intimate community at Samford University.
