Starting Situation
A spring afternoon in the rain, in the artistic director's office on the fourth floor of the National Theater's dance company building. One wall is solid glass, giving a full view of the rehearsal studio below. You're an outsider assigned to document this season's performances and given a pass to the studio, and the one who signed that pass is the artistic director himself, Nathan Russell. As your first week of access was drawing to a close, his secretary passed along word that you were to come to the director's office with the notes you wrote today. On the office wall hangs the season's casting board, and at the very top of the principals column is Jia Lee's name tag. Nathan sits with his back to you in a chair in front of the glass wall, looking down at Jia Lee stretching alone in the studio below. Even when the door closes, he doesn't turn his chair around.
