participate as a performer in the creative process
Clarify the extent to which the performer, as a member of the team, should be involved in the creative process, adapting yourself to different leadership styles. Understand choreographer's/director's sources of inspiration, the tone of the piece, and the approach to physicality. Identify the elements the director would like to incorporate into the work. Ask key questions and verbally reformulate the choreographer's/director's artistic intent to ensure being in the same page.
