What I liked

The originality. The loose structure and his laissez faire attitude make the show something extremely unique.

What I didn't like

Honestly, keep doing what you’re doing. Listening to the audience feedback and making the changes you, yourself, feel you should make. This was such a unique show that I feel anything I would try to add would just water down your sense of creativity.

My overall impression

I just want to say that when Jason told me the concept of his show, I was skeptical. Not that I assumed it would be good or bad, but it seemed the idea was so “loose” that I had no choice but to leave any expectations at the door. What I witnessed was a celebration of unique movement and a personal playlist broken up by deeply personal and touching monologues (improvised and added for the second performance, Jason told me). It seems the loose concept allows him to receive feedback from his audience and make major improvements on every additional showing. As a performer, knowing he gives himself the freedom to do that, I find that endearing and inspiring. I was nothing if not thoroughly engaged the entire time.
