A full description of the process is copied, quoted from Dir. Julia Cooke:

• “The first day of the project was purely about finding inspiration, exploration, and beginning our creative process. The prompt for their piece was 'adding color to a white world' and how we collectively find meaning in that idea. By the end of the first day, both of my actors were very interested in exploring how the color white can symbolize different stages of life: when you're born, white symbolizes innocence and purity, and then when you're aging, your hair turns white and color begins to fade. They saw the white walls of the Burnt Cove Church as a sort of purgatory/afterlife, in which they had a blank space to fill with the details of their lives. They created a world in which they needed to share with others and relive their lives as a way of leaving a last mark of color on the world, before ascending beyond.”

• “I don't believe all of those details are present in our final product, but it was the path taken to create our piece. From there, they crafted two separate lives and wanted to present monologues to share them. They found that even people with completely different backgrounds and life journeys were equal in this white world, and shared the concept of finding color in one's work. Therefore, The Writer and The Musician came to be.”
