We did Hercules a couple of years ago. When we used the speech by Hercules' daughter at the end of Euripides' Children of Hercules. She was inspired by that speech, but she said it for herself, wrote it herself, for herself. If we play off a lot of stuff, something will strike a spark. We use a lot of material to fire a project.
People sometimes work together in duos or trios.
One I can remember is the scene at the end of Helen by Euripides where Helen recognizes that Menelaus is Menelaus. As they were working together, he was suddenly just there. She is shocked. He was every man that she had lost in her whole life. This woman did an incredible dance.
