Leadership and Change

I have to admit I am a little unclear about what I really need to write about.

I found Jack to be a very passionate person. It was fascinating how he started the theater and it is still doing so well. It was interesting to know about their audiences; how they don’t consider it as having a ‘following’. Instead it is the individual performance that draws the crowd, not the theater itself. I can appreciate what Jack was describing about the struggle in obtaining funding. I was on the Board of Directors of a non-profit gallery from its start-up/inception. I truly understand how difficult it is, especially in the beginning years, for non-profits to obtain grant money while, simultaneously, trying to educate the masses about who you are and why they should give donations to you over the next non-profit. I did enjoy the “Love Person” performance. I felt the play’s use of technology, the laptop, cell phones and monitors for the audience, made it a very original concept. It was especially interesting to reflect on the fact that even though you are communicating with someone, you really never know who that someone may be via email. It was the dichotomy between the use of technology and the ancient language of Sanskrit that I felt was an interesting combination.
