A final reflection:
Before this process, I perceived collaboration to be something which exists solely in the process. An entity which is destroyed once a performance goes live, murdered by the audience. In the compiling of this blog, I have discovered that this is not the case. Collaboration exists in all elements, between myself and fanshen; myself and Ashley/Joshua; Myself and the audience; Myself and you, the reader of this blog. Thank you for collaborating with me.
