| I'm not claiming you said those things, and you've missed my point, I suspect willfully. I'm am following your logic to another level. If we applied the standard of "needing" to bring on collaborators to consult and guide writers writing any character or story that is outside that writers lived experience to just about every novel or play (etc), they would not have been written as they are, or not have been published or performed because there was no "authenticity of presumed relevant lived experienced" to consult and approve before it was released. The point is that there are many great and celebrated works written by people, currently and throughout the history of the written word, that do not meet this standard. And my point with the one-person auto-biographical play is that if you are writing something that is not specifically that, you are writing people and stories outside your own actual lived experience, period. So therefor, now, would need to hire a collaborator who can guide and consult your writing through the filter of their own lived experience which is closer to (or deemed the same as, even though that's not possible) the characters'. I am also fully in support of writers doing research and being sensitive to the approach/context/portrayal and impact of their writing. I am not hostile to that idea. |
