Spaulding Gray: Live Editor

I call in Paul Spencer after I've done, say, 15 performances and I feel that I've got the structure of the narrative. And then he begins to give me notes and feedback on what he thinks could be cut. As far as my work process, I had been working in front of a live audience for thirty years and this can't help but influence the way that I shape my world. The way that they are silent, the way that they laugh. I have my feelers out for it. So my audience is almost like an editor, a live editor.
