?? really resonating with Alan's words, so looking forward to joining this conversation

Artists of the Coquelin school reason this way: The theater is a convention, and the stage is too poor in resources to create the illusion of real life; therefore the theater should not avoid conventions.…This type of art is less profound than beautiful, it is more immediately effective than truly powerful, in it the form is more interesting than its content. It acts more on your sense of sound and sight than on your soul. Consequently it is more likely to delight than to move you. So then, since the theatre is limited to the conventions of beauty, the immediate effects of sound and sight and simple delights, it is up to us, the makers and players of theatre, to bring the profound, the powerful, the interest in content, and our ability to truly move an audience. Theatre brings the convention. We bring the intention.

My words fly up, my thoughts remain below: Words without thoughts never to heaven go... The King in Hamlet Act 3 Scene 3. Day one of teaching back at The Theatre Academy DAMU Prague... sixth year of my Making Theatre course. The course starts by questioning what theatre we are making (or should be?), why, and who we're making it for... #storytelling with value and impact.

The journey in musical theatre is one of incredible highs and challenging lows. In my latest video, I took a deep dive into the often unspoken realities of pursuing a career in this industry. It’s a message not just for performers, but also for the families, friends, and educators who support them. In this video, I discuss: - The personal sacrifices and unique struggles of a musical theatre career - Strategies for handling rejection, self-doubt, and emotional resilience - How to reconnect with purpose and passion to fuel long-term success - Why so many of us keep chasing this dream, despite the obstacles For anyone in or connected to the performing arts, I hope this video offers insight, comfort, and motivation. Watch it here: https://lnkd.in/gu7kw5QG I’d love to hear your thoughts on these topics and your own experiences in navigating the highs and lows of a creative career. Let’s keep the conversation going!

Today is World Theatre Day. Since 1962 World Theatre Day has been celebrated by International theater organizations, theater professionals, and theater lovers all over the world on the 27th of March. This year, the International Theatre Institute is privileged to have Jon Fosse, the Norwegian playwright and novelist, and last year's Nobel Prize Laureate in Literature, crafting the Message for World Theatre Day 2024. You can read the full World Theatre Day Message from this link: https://lnkd.in/dZXXGENk Here you can find some parts of the message: "Art Is Peace Every person is unique and yet also like every other person. Our visible, external appearance is different from everyone else’s, of course, that is all well and good, but there is also something inside every one of us that belongs to that person alone—which is that person?alone. We might call this their spirit, or their soul. Or else we can decide not to label it at all in words, just leave it alone. But while we are all unlike one another, we’re alike too. People from every part of the world?are fundamentally similar, no matter what language we speak, what skin color we have, or what hair color we have. This may be something of a paradox: that we are completely alike and utterly dissimilar at the same time. Maybe a person is intrinsically paradoxical, in our bridging of body and soul—we encompass both the most earthbound, tangible existence and something that transcends these material, earthbound limits. Art, good art, manages in its wonderful way to combine the utterly unique with the universal.?It lets us understand what is different—what is foreign, you might say—as being universal. By doing so, art breaks through the boundaries between languages, geographical regions,?and countries. It brings together not just everyone’s individual qualities but also, in another sense, the individual characteristics of every group of people, for example of every nation (...)” . . . #worldtheaterday #art #peace #talentra
