Writing Inspiration January 28, 2011

I was on a background acting shoot tonight playing a forensic photographer. Along the way, while chatting with some fellow background actors I met a couple of creative writers who have written screenplays.
I have to say I was definitely inspired by these writers to pursue my own creative writing ideas. Or rather, to continue exploring these ideas, and do more writing. And I think I’m going to post some of those pieces I write – such as shorts – on this blog.
I now need to stop procrastinating and write!

The Lightbulb Company is SO thrilled to be mounting its first ever production! And what better way to start than with something that promises laughter?We are a company started last year by a group of dedicated emerging artists with a passion for ensemble creation. Together we workshopped, played, explored and refined a new play. And now, we are proud to be mounting the workshop production of “In Transit”, written by founding member Tyler Graham. A duo enters a bus. They meet individuals who use the bus as more than a simple transit system – the bus becomes a destination in and of itself. As they journey, they come to recognise the bus as a place of predictability, an aspect posited as a human need.”In Transit” explores the bus as a place of mediated civilised freedom, regulated and predictable but chaotic in its own. The people who enter the bus are random elements who break the overarching predictability. PS. If you DON’T laugh, we’ll eat our hats! We guarantee laughter at our performance!
