the narrative letter

Christy is in Tasmania with One Trick Pony performing at the Junction Arts Festival. My housemate has swine flu and I have a sore throat and feel dizzy. I drive around to Pigeon Hole which would be ridiculous if I was well but feels very appropriate right now. I go there because apparently the pole is going to be delivered any day now. We write a letter to Kate who has been asking us, from Switzerland, about narrative.

Christy calls from Tassie and we put her on loudspeaker. She has been doing backflips on concrete in zero degrees. We laugh and read her bits of the letter.
Afterwards Luke and I stand in the kitchen and talk about the hero’s journey, different ways of structuring a show as you devise it. How we saw the structure of various shows: Slava, The Business etc. We talk about graphing mood, tension, skill level, plot points etc. We both like the idea of graphing shows.
