What is a Play, what is our obligation to story? - Ehn

1) You can think of a play as a series of events.
2) You can also think of your play as a flow of energy.
...or maybe both.

What if your job is this?
...to bring characters into an experience
...to crack them open
...to leave them at the end

This parallels Noh drama, and the structure of jo-ha-kyu

Says Ehn:
An imaginative story -- is it the ideal, or the easiest thing? If writing your story is getting to be a chore, make it the last thing you do.

If you're merely filfilling a story, how can you put energy into the process for yourself? How can you stay energized? If you aren't energized, your story won't be.
