Yes. This happens all the time in the profession and one of the things we hope to teach is how to invest in a project that wasn’t your first choice. And, all our students (directors, playwrights, and actors) are new to this kind of work, or they wouldn’t be doing the program. It very well may be that how you go about selecting creative partners will change as a result of the training you get at Hollins, your areas of interest may expand and it is possible that a project that you weren’t excited about your first year might be exactly the kind of thing you want to work on by the end of your second year. We have a whole series of structured exercises to help our students find effective strategies for working together in a variety of ways under a variety of conditions.
