I'm a college theatre professor and director. Two years ago, I had Holly do a couple of creativity workshops for my advanced acting students. I have seen firsthand how her Formula works. The Creative Formula expands and clarifies what she teaches. The writing style is very accessible and enjoyable (and VERY Holly--I've known her for two decades). Although it takes awhile to get to the actual three steps, I ultimately found the description of Holly's journey to be affirming and it bestows a particular authority on her lessons.As a director, naturally I have developed my own rehearsal process over the years. When reading The Creative Formula, I was forced to look at that process with new eyes which is always rejuvenating. What I found was both an affirmation of what I do already and a vocabulary that I will incorporate into my work moving forward. At first, I struggled to connect The Creative Formula to directing. I could obviously see the usefulness of Alignment to get a rehearsal started: I always do warmups. Likewise, in each rehearsal I could relate to Allowing and Articulation: "That was good, now give me something different. Make a bold choice--rehearsal is about exploring not getting the 'right' answer. Okay, now let's run that again to set it for the next rehearsal." But I wrestled with how The Creative Formula ties in to MY directoral work. Holly's writing encourages the reader to be open and engaged. Eventually, I realized that my rehearsal calendar, not just individual rehearsals follow the same steps outlined in The Creative Formula. We start by Aligning ourselves with the script and characters for a period of time, then we move into the Allowing phase of exploration and play, and finally Articulate by editing those choices and setting things.
