Hobbyist theatre director/actor/enthusiast, professional transactional contract negotiatior, art lover, occassional blogger, wistful wanderer. Neil Gaiman made me come here. Occasionally have stuff to say about #theatre, #Detroit, #writing, and #hearingloss.

Hmmm, I wonder if he likes his present.

@Dramagirl @ryanrappaport I have some publicity info I can share with you, and blogged about it here and there at mutteringretreats.com. If you're interested in seeing the script, I have permission from the author to send you a copy (she has copyrighted it).
@ryanrappaport @Dramagirl The #digitaltheatre production I directed could be replicable, with different director / team / production management. It was specifically written for the digital format and the sky's the limit on how one might produce it.

Students respond better to feedback when it's depersonalized.

Personal: Your wording here is unclear
Impersonal: The wording here is unclear.

Personal: Your organization is confusing.
Impersonal: The organization is confusing.

Personal: You made the opposite claim in the previous paragraph.
Impersonal: The previous paragraph made the opposite claim.

I've found that this makes a massive difference, giving students the detachment they need to focus on their writing.

Today is Native Women's Equal Pay Day. In the US, the pay gap between white women and Black and brown women, is *greater* than the pay gap between white women and white men. There's a sleight of hand that often happens: when we talk about pay gaps, we talk about all women (to maximise the perceived gap), but the remedies usually benefit white women (because racism).

We could close more of the pay gap by addressing racism

With my being new here, plus all the talk about #hearingloss and new no-prescription #hearingaids coming on the market, I figure this is a good time to share a bit of my story. To anyone out there struggling silently (all meanings intended), I see you.
