78 - Jay Gilligan - Making your show valuable - Stockholm kitchen Conversations 1of2

In this episode Jay Gilligan and I converse in his kitchen. We start talking about how juan Tamariz, the massively influential Spanish magician, takes control of his whole environment to create the best possible conditions for creating a magic experience. From that we talk about about how to present your needs for light and sound etc to producers and technicians at gigs. We talk about making demands and whether not having any makes you appear as less in their eyes. We briefly touch on Jay's new show Another Sunset and get an example of the kind of thinking Ivar Heckscher brings to the artistic conversation. 
When we have made an artistic creation and we have found a way to express our inner expereince through an outer expression we don't so much have to "convince" the audience, as in persuade them that it has value, we rather has to point to that thing as a reality and allow them to see it and in seeing it they too can't deny it has value.
How to communicate with muggles and fine artists what you do as a "mere" circus performer. 
At the end of the conversation Jay and I talk about tools and AI things that could help us document our personal process of conversation.

I hope you enjoy it. There were some real gems that emerged in this conversation. SOme of them quite practical.
