Stage Hackers: Performance | Stagecraft | Creative Entrepreneurship

Establishing a creative environment that fosters collaboration, communication, and a sense of community is essential to developing strong work. HowlRound embodies this approach to work as a commons for theatrical research and discourse. HowlRound representatives and dramaturgs, Ramona Ostrowski and Adewunmi Oke join us to discuss their personal approaches to the creative process as well as the HowlRound philosophy of sharing, learning, and growing. HowlRound was born five years ago—as a place for artists to provide feedback, learning, expertise, frustration, and vision—in an effort to enliven the fields of theatre and performance to the aspiring and established artist alike.

Ramona is a member of LMDA and a graduate of Boston Univer
