Make it personal without making it generic
Choose one role, text, movement, or backstage problem the recipient genuinely wants to explore, and agree whether the result remains private.
Presentation
Bind the approved transcript with three removable production tabs and a blank final page titled what I want remembered.
Check the practical fit
- Space
- Mark a compact rehearsal zone with clear entrances, seated alternatives, safe cable paths, and a reset plan for the ordinary room.
- Skill
- Work with an experienced stage practitioner for rigging, electrical, movement, access, or venue-specific questions; keep home practice low risk.
- Maintenance
- Leave an editable cue sheet, role card, or layout drawing that records decisions without obligating the recipient to produce a performance.
- Accessibility
- Offer large print, reflowable text, captions, interpretation, described movement, seated roles, quiet participation, breaks, and an easy exit.
- Sustainability
- Borrow rehearsal objects, use public-domain or properly licensed text, and construct temporary models from reusable card and cloth.
- Timing
- Define call, warm-up, work, break, reset, and finish times; verify venue policies and participant consent before any public element.
