The Ghost Light Collective: Alan Kay, who was one of the few legendary computer scientists who was not associated with Carnegie Mellon, wrote “the best way to predict the future is to invent it.” Here’s our most recent attempt to live up to that. The Ghost Light Collective is currently hosting guest director Anne D’Zmura. Anne is the Head of Directing at Cal Stage Long Beach, and she is shepherding a group of intrepid students through the process of devising a theater piece. I say we’re hosting her; in truth, she’s not here yet, but she is teaching classes. This is made possible through the miracle of modern technology.

This is an interesting teaching tool that is becoming more and more common. It is concerning to me that this could allow the labor pool for professors in collegiate theatre to become even smaller. This could help to save some smaller institutions though. If smaller and downsizing departments band together to pool resources we could get a great benefit of more integration.
