Let's talk about the "Terror" culture: EXPERIENCES WITH BULLYING.
We often hear stories about "terror" directors or seniors, and it's sometimes framed as "training" or "disiplina." But where do we draw the line between high standards and actual bullying?
From power-tripping stage managers to "diva" leads or directors who go too far—what’s the worst bullying you’ve witnessed or experienced in the local scene?
Let's keep it anonymous (no naming names/groups/univ to avoid drama!), but let’s talk about the reality of the environment we work in.
Have you ever experienced being power-tripped, gatekept, or belittled in a production? Whether it was during your time in a university guild or in the professional circuit, how did it affect your mental health and your love for the craft? I’m curious to know if things are changing or if these toxic habits are still being passed down to the next generation of actors/theater-makers.
