PORTFOLIO

Role: Writer 

Description: Commissioned by Arizona State University Athletic Department in Partnership awith Tony Award Winner Lemon Andersen to develop poetic dialogue for use in a commercial for an ASU promising athlete. The challenge was to write for him, in his own words.

Preparation: I met with Lemon Andersen to discuss my poetic approach, I watched video of interviews with the athlete and began to document his disposition, hopes, concerns and life story. I used these notes to write in his voice and from his perspective.

Timeline/Creative Process: I spent two days writing followed by sending a textual version to Lemon Andersen for approval. Following approval, Lemon continued working with the athlete on performative delivery for the commercial.
