Management Troubles

A common enemy is a common issue shared… When in the face of danger, as humans we stick together, we fight, we succeed better in groups…

So, in the case of my cast & I…Our troubles with our management brought us together and we knew, that if need be we can pull it out of the bag if, we put our heads together…

We had a number of days when our management failed to step up and help us when we needed them most… What could we do? Well we had 2 options; one being we could band together to get the job that was needed, done. Or 2, fail and potentially lose our jobs.

A performers nature is a complex one. We have a desire to be recognised for our work, a desire to achieve greatness & a desire to move/please our audience. We are passionate, highly competitive, and yet rely on each other whilst we are working on stage. We know that working together at any time will only benefit us a team rather than hinder it. What is a horse without his legs??? Not much, he would simply fall and be rendered pretty useless. So, despite our competitive nature we understand our strengths and can put aside our differences to achieve our common goal. Our performance.

In our case, we listened to one another, worked out the best strategy to achieve our goal.. Practised it in our given time and Voila! we succeeded! 

But what would happen if everyone was not on the same page? What would be the outcome of the performance? Do the dynamics with a cast actually affect the final outcome?

I am looking into "How the group dynamics within a cast can affect the outcome of a performance", I'm interested to see what the outcome in the end will be? Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.... :)
