Feedback

August 16th, 2010

I’ve thought about the word “feedback” many times throughout my academic and professional careers… what that word means. It was this weekend, during the Playwrights’ Retreat at the Abingdon Theatre (of which I’m a proud member), that I understood exactly what that word can mean. During the weekend, I was literally (they were kind enough to provide food and snacks throughout the two days I was in attendance) and figuratively fed.

My peers and colleagues were genuine in their applause of my efforts and the ways I worked my craft , and were diplomatic yet forthright in the ways I need to continue refining my piece.

It nourished me… my soul, my intellect, my heart — every part of me… to give and receive valuable feedback. For the first time, I really understood what “feedback” can mean. For this, I thank everyone for their input, diligence, and willingness to share their gifts and talents while allowing me to share mine.
