Interviews and transcriptions...
I'm working with a preliminary version of the Table of Contents, and I thought I'd pull out a list of the interviews to see what the scope of that part of the project will look like...
I think in some cases people might want to write their own articles, or have that option. In some cases we might use snippets of the Durfee material, but there are some people who will need to be interviewed and then transcribed. First...the straight interviews:
First Impressions of Cornerstone (An Interview Roundtable with Community Partners)
Ensemble Interview: Peter Howard (to talk in depth about rural years, ensemble shows)
Ensemble Interview: Page Leong (LA, joining the company in progress)
Story Circle: Cornerstone in L.A. (Key Community Partners)
“Working With Cornerstone” by A Very Famous Collaborator/Commissioner
Interview with Ensemble Members who have worked on CC’s…maybe just a few paras on each play, a roundtable?
Playwrights on Working with Cstone from the outside: Lisa Loomer, Chay Yew, and?
Interviews with students of I1 & I2
An interview with Community participants of Institute 1 & 2…
Ensemble Interviews: Newer members
...and it's possible that the search for a new AD might make an interesting roundtable discussion. Perhaps even a chain of emails among the Search Committee members?
Here are pieces that could be interviews, but could also be articles or essays by the participants...
“The Cornerstone Impulse” by Bill Rauch OR Interview
“Adaptations” by Alison Carey OR Interview
“Designing Cornerstone” Lynn Jeffries OR Interview
“Finding a Home for Cornerstone” by Leslie Tamaribuchi OR Interview
The Technology of Cstone by Geoff Korf
Stage Managing a Cstone show by ???
The Institute by Paula Donnelly
Education and Cstone by Deb Piver

So that looks like at LEAST 13 interviews...say 15 just to get a round number. My first problem is transcription. I'd guess that having that many interviews transcribed could cost around $2k. Next up I need to think about articles and play texts. Many articles will be available as e-files, but the older texts and news letters will need to be scanned in using OCR or typed. I think I have a pretty good setup for OCR....
