Lisa Marie DiLiberto – Education and Audience Development Coordinator, Canadian Stage
When I make lists on sheets of paper, I usually loose them. The white board is my favourite and most effective place to keep lists, provided I can find the white board markers. The best part about the white board list is actually erasing the list items. I get so much satisfaction from the erasing process that sometimes I put things on my list that I’ve already done, just so I can wipe them off. I think that this list is typical of an independent theatre artist director – final reports, the question of incorporation, grants, database creation, newsletters… etc. Also lumped in here are my personal list items, such as planning for my upcoming wedding, cleaning out my studio basement full of costumes and props and buying a baby present for my neighbourhood friend. The most exciting thing on my list is labelled gaulier – which is about a masterclass that my company is presenting in December taught by French clown master, Philippe Gaulier who trained many of our Toronto clowns.
