Being a student of Plaza Del La Raza's Theater program, I am aware of the collaborative process of bringing in a writer to write the plays for our pieces. When I was a student their I felt that I was learning alot however in some ways I felt that I wasn't learning enough to serve the text justice when I was 13. Mady Schutzman came collaborate with the program long before I attended but I appreciate her approach incredibly. She would be direct in giving information about the foundation of characters and exposing students to realities that may be harsh for a 13 year old. While in the long run, collaborating wuth someone like her would greatly speed up the process and give a more dynamic result. The students would think more and their talents would be nurished to think more about things that happen in the world.
