Marcus Youssef - Thought #8 - Return to Freelance

Hi, it's Marcus Yousef, thought number eight. I'm thinking about being a freelancer and how I'm no longer artistic director at Neworld. I stepped down from that position and the difference between controlling the conditions under which we make work. And when we don't, when you're working in relationship with others who control those. And the kind of tradeoff which is that -- like I stepped down from Neworld because I kind of had stopped sleeping through the night because there's all the details in my head, the stress that I had worked myself into it was way too much. I've been relieved of that, which is so great. And on the other side, it's a different position to be not in control of the conditions that will manifest the creation of the new things that I'm working on.
