After reading the outline for the acts and their scenes, I was thinking how much more creative freedom there would be to take each seperate idea and use it as part of the conversation/actions between the two characters. For example, each character could act out both the unbalanced and balanced aspects of narcissism, and each topic would organically be raised through the dialogue, action, video, etc. The silk dance artist could be interacting at times with the two puppets (or other characters, this is all loose in my mind) in ways that are described as how to sucessfully treat and/or interact/have a relationship with a narcissistic person. Example: I read something about how touching a narcisit on one part of their face (nose I think) would change thier behaviour or at least their thinking, calling thier attention to it. Then another book I've been checking out said something about different lines of questioning that can be used to redirect the narcissist's attention to their skewed version of what's happening. Maybe the silk dancer could interact with the main characters in this way.

I (willow) did some matching of the topics of the scenes in a way that seemed like potential conversation threads that could potentially flow easily. This is just an idea, my first reaction to the scenes was that it could be easy for them to read/feel too scientific or like a list. I know its very early in the development, this is just one idea of something that has potential for more story freedom, if people are interested in creating something like that.
