The event started with a key not speak from Lee Devin. He made a really interesting presentation about concepts he presented in his book “Artful Making: What Managers Need to Know About How Artists Work”.
Among those ideas it was the importance of identifying which are problems and which are difficulties in our projects. In a previous post in a blog he wrote: “A problem has a solution. When engineers solve it, the problem goes away. It’s a question raised for solution with fixes, tests, and checklist updates. In contrast, a difficulty has no solution. A difficulty wants you to sit with it, address it, not solve it. Artists know this world of the difficult very well. No definitive fix, test, or checklist will suffice. Sitting with and playing with the difficult is simply part of the knowledge work of the artist.”
About working with difficulties he wrote: “We need to address difficulties not by point solutions, but by applying “AND” thinking, creating large containers of possibility. We must embrace the art of the possible. In the case of the actor, this comes in the form of rehearsal, ensemble and release that ultimately leads to the actual performance. In the case of the engineer, this work comes in the form of design spikes, set-based engineering, and tests. In both cases, experiments create space around difficulties. The art of the possible broadens the team’s or troupe’s innovative outcomes.”
