" It is in the irony of things that the theatre should be the most dangerous place for the actor. But, then, after all, the world is the worst possible place, the most corrupting place, for the human soul.
And just as there is no escape from the world, which follows us into the very heart of the desert, so the actor cannot escape the theatre.
And the actor who is a dreamer need not. All of us can only strive to remain uncontaminated. In the world we must be unworldly, in the theatre the actor must be untheatrical. "
Theatre
- Unknown
The Theatre is a remarkable place. It is a place were one can be themselves yet at the same time there job is to act as some one else. It is a place filled with drama, heartache, and people who will deceive you yet at the same time it is filled with an unmatchable thrill, happiness, and a sense of excitement and fulfillment when you finally make it to what you have been work to the whole time!
—rediscovers itself at precisely the point where the mind requires a language to express its manifestations....To break through language in order to touch life is to create or recreate the theatre.'
'The theater, which is in no thing, but makes use of everything—gestures, sounds, words, screams, light, darkness
-Antonin Artaud
"The most effective moments in the theatre are those that appeal to basic and commonplace emotions--love of woman, love of home, love of country, love of right, anger, jealousy, revenge, ambition, lust, and treachery."
CLAYTON HAMILTON
