What is your Rough Theater?

   My rough theater would be a style that incorporates a collage of abstract concepts. When these abstract concepts are molded together, they will carry a unifying idea and message that hopefully can be appreciated; individual subjectivity and authorial vision that will allow a fresh new meaning to old ideas. 

   My tool chest would incorporate avant-garde and new-wave conventions, like those used in the 1960’s by filmmakers such as John Cassevette’s improvisation technique and loose framework in his movie Shadows 1959, and Maya Deren’s psychoanalytical and surrealist approach to experimental film-making. Conventions such as extended long shots, handheld-camera footage, naturalistic performances, on-location shooting, natural lighting, whip-pans, disjointed narratives via editing, like temporal and jump-cuts. A very idiosyncratic and a highly eccentric style that is fluid but loose.

   Essentially my rough theater will be free-flowing, a fluid approach that both captures and capitalizes the conditions of the surrounding environment and the emotions of the moment, and definitely with a modernist stylistic outlook.
