Negotiations and Love Songs
There were a few holes I felt needed to be filled in our musical…threads that I felt were left hanging, or character/story arcs that just didn’t reach a conclusion I was satisfied with. When I spoke to my collaborator, he was wary about changing it again, as we’ve been working on it for years. But we went forward.
He saw how much it meant to me — how passionate I was. And now we have two beautiful new songs, and a subplot for a main character, which also fleshed out a secondary character, to boot.
And we (I think I can safely speak for both of us here) couldn’t be happier! Because at the end of the day, that’s what collaboration is, negotiation… and that negotiation is what makes the show stronger, because it really is bigger than any one of us, it’s a shared vision.
Now all we need are other collaborators to join us in bringing our show to life!
