“Theater is the place where philosophy and action disguise themselves as each other and dance with our beliefs; whispering lies in our ears, that we might hear the truth. “
“The arts remind us of our humility- that what we feel isn’t always based in truth and that what we think we know may be motivated more by desire than veracity.”
“One must strive to uncover with one’s collaborators a uniquely theatrical aesthetic, appropriate to each production, an aesthetic which will surprise and delight the audience. Performances must exceed some idyllic purism of “life-likeness” toward some greater truth that Picasso insisted art had to lie to realize. There must always be a reason that a performance is ephemeral and temporal, a reason that it must be experienced live, communally, in the moment, not recorded in illusive flickers projected on a screen.”
