Interview Framework
• What have been some key moments of establishment/growth/transition? Let’s make a list of periods, and feel free to keep adding to the different periods. (We can use paper on the wall to chart different moments.) In this section, you should feel free to identify the good moments, as well as the harder lessons and experiences of failure.
• What were some of the key knowledges you have picked up in those identified stages? (Again, we can put it on paper)
• What are your fundamental needs as an artist, and how have you been getting those needs met?
• In what ways do you see your desired trajectory playing out in the careers of other artists? Are there other artists whose paths are informing yours, in whole or in part?
• What, if any, expectations did you hold for your artistic trajectory that did or didn’t play out in practice as you imagined?
