| When you read across the board that the creative team of a new 21st century musical - director, choreographer, set designer, costume designer, lighting designer and sound designer are all male, you have to infer that the composition (not unlike a 1960's era boardroom) is more out of habit and comfortability (and why ruin a good thing, right?) than talent. It's understandable that no one wants to cede creative power and an opportunity; but sometimes the cycle needs to be broken conscientiously and deliberately. Producers and directors have the power to change this. |
