I Think Enjoying Each Other In A Creative Way Is Usually A Result Of When You're Doing Something That Might Be Problematic - Might Be A Little Difficult To Uncover. I've Done It Once In A Stage Production; We Came In For Two Days And, Just As An Experiment, The Director Had Us Reading Each Other's Roles.

It's Like A Refresher Course For Me As Well, So In A Sense, I'm Hopefully Learning As Much As My Students Are - Or At Least Discovering Or Re-discovering As Much As They Are. I Find That When I Teach, I'm Reminded Of My Own Sort Of Failings. I'm Reminded Of Where I Sometimes Keep Going Wrong.
