Director Tina Landau is meticulously directing the revival of 'Floyd Collins' at the Lincoln Center, focusing on fluid scene transitions and the essence of space. The musical, exploring the story of a Kentucky explorer trapped underground, is being staged anew after decades. Known for her innovations in movement in theatre, Landau is guiding her ensemble in creating meaningful transitions that enhance the narrative rather than just acting them out. The show includes intricate details like realistic floor designs and strategic use of lighting.
The thing I've known about this show from the beginning, is the more we try to be literal, the less it works.
As a director, Landau is known for her work with space - she's co-written a book on the theory of Viewpoints.
We want to watch a passage of time at the site.
The last time we did this transition, it felt a little transition-y.
