![]() Now that you have the ghost’s name and the ghost’s special attributes, you are prepared to align yourself with that ghost: “If I can summarize what I heard you say, Morgan was special because she looked at the entire business first from your perspective rather than peeking out at the world through the functional view demanded of her by the job description. You can now follow up with this question: “What was it that Morgan did that was so special?” Use this to your advantage.īy conjuring up the image of the ghost, you change the tenor of the interview to a more positive one for the decision-maker. The positive stories in your life are not as valuable to the decision-maker as the positive stories in the decision-maker’s life. You want to be associated with positive events. You do not want a negative tone of conversation to dominate your time with the interviewer. Are you the person who can help fix this mess? Most interviews tend to focus on negative issues: Here is what is wrong. “Who is the best consultant you ever worked with?”Īsking this kind of question does two things for you: It moves the conversation to a positive theme, and it allows you to align yourself with the ghost.“Who is the best psychologist you ever worked with?”.“Who is the best attorney you ever worked with for an issue like this?”.“Who is the best person you ever hired in a job like this, whether it was at this company or another company?”.You can easily do so by asking a variation of a simple question: Like Macbeth’s guests at the feast, you are unable to see the ghost that haunts the decision-maker. ![]() You are about to walk into an interview room with a mission: secure an agreement that will benefit you.

Running time: 50 minutes with no intermission.Shakespeare’s Macbeth is, in part, a story about how the ghosts of our pasts drive our futures. Zombie Joe’s Underground Theatre Group, 4850 Lankershim Blvd., North Hollywood Fri. Nevertheless, Conjure the Spirits is a ghost story that is sure to haunt long after you leave the theater. Contemporary experimental theatre generally necessitates leaving room for interpretation, but the characters are simply so engaging that they deserve a conclusion in at least one of the metaphysical worlds that Korsgaard has built. But while the show’s breakneck speed is heart-pounding (and allows the show to be performed twice per night), it leaves nearly all of its narrative threads loose. (Sound and lighting design by Zombie Joe ratchets up the suspense.) Korsgaard’s script is a lean and fast-paced piece, rich with intriguing characters and layers of metaphor. ![]() In its final moments, Conjure the Spirits breaks into a haunting liminal space populated with movement pieces in the classic disturbing Zombie Joe style, leaving the audience with more questions than answers. Standouts from the cast include Liza Rash as the medium’s secretive assistant and Sarah Bruce as the gathering’s sole skeptic. ![]() The evening is hosted by a man who may or may not be possessed (Ryan Leonard) and performed by a woman who may or may not be able to control her spiritual powers (Zelda Gay). The actors-playing-actors run through their story beats before launching into their performance of a Blithe Spirit-esque play about a a seance gone wrong. The concept is as meta as it is metaphysical - after you make it past the spooky usher, you’re informed that you’ll be witnessing a rehearsal of a play performed by actors long since passed. With Conjure the Spirits, playwright-director-actor Hiro Korsgaard brings a bite-sized and sharply intelligent new piece to Zombie Joe’s that explores life, death, and what’s in between. It’s immediately immersive with a distinct style, making a night at Zombie Joe’s Underground Theatre unlike any other night at any other theater in Los Angeles. A ghostly usher (a cameo by Zombie Joe himself) takes your tickets wordlessly, struggles to navigate worldly fixtures like doors and parking meters, and shouts Shakespeare to the streets of North Hollywood. Zombie Joe’s Underground Theatre Group’s Conjure the Spirits begins on the sidewalk in front of the theatre.
