In this episode we try something new. Jay Gilligan has listened to my new season about Play & Showmanship and he found that there were several points in the episode  he wanted to know more about. He recorded some snippets with some AI app that he has and he reads me the unedited transcriptions of these and we have a great and DEEP conversation about the morals of Attention. How paying close Attention actually shapes what it is - or at the very least your perception of it. How you are and what you think will bleed through what you do in your act. How we understand what we do is of the utmost importance for ourselves.What does Captain Frodo mean when he says that someone is "authentic" and how do we get to this point with our characters?About the importance of the ACTUAL ENCOUNTER. About really being present in the moment, the miracle of sharing time together, not apart but together.Support the show...Now you can get t-shirts and hoodies with our wonderful logo.
