The Razor's Edge
Dimmer Beach: "On the razor’s edge": idiom, In a difficult or precarious position.
If you work in our industry and never heard that phrase before, you will never forget it now. You know all too well that it is the nature of our business to work either balancing on the edge, or to be the one making decisions that put others on a tightrope.

I find this article interesting because it gives you a different perspective on striking, and in this case, depreping. I really don’t like to strike a show because that means tearing apart all the work you have done and there is nothing you are working for except the mere destruction of a show. But, this article has put striking and depreping into a new light for me. Yes, it is something that one might not enjoy strike, but it is a very important part of the process even though it is the last step in a show. Without strike, especially when your next production is going to be produced in the same space, there is no next production. You just have to strike. It is just as important as prep and in some ways you can look at it like it is a step in the prep process for the next show.
