A question I ask myself frequently. The point of this project is what again? As much as I’m drawn to writing these posts (almost) every day, it’s easy to lose track of its purpose. decentre will hopefully grow into something a bit bigger than me postulating on a bunch of seemingly random topics. While IContinue reading “What… Am I Doing?”

Something to Say?
One of the many things I ask myself with this daily writing project is whether or not I have something to say. That’s a repeated adage in the art making world, I find: “Figure out what you have to say before you share your story.” Blah blah blah. I’m not about to spend hours staringContinue reading “Something to Say?”
Now More Than Ever
Theatre has survived much worse. And if it were more aligned with the amazing technologies developed in the last 20-30 years, it could be even more popular right now. Theatre can be digital.

Your job, throughout your entire life, is to disappoint as many people as itContinue reading “Stubborn Routines”
Li’l Impacts
Today I’m reminding myself that small decisions can make substantial impacts. When I think about my career and what I want to be doing with my life, it often comes down to helping people and affecting change. I’d like to leave this world with some sort of legacy that was made possible by my creativityContinue reading “Li’l Impacts”
It’s All Connected, Maaan
When deep in the process of making, everything carries weight. It can be easy to get caught up in the net of our own overthinking and not see the forest for the trees. But when our hearts and minds remain open, we can be inspired by everything around us. Everything our senses can detect isContinue reading “It’s All Connected, Maaan”
