As actors, we do our best to keep things light and to encourage in the audience an openness to the changing atoms in the room.

Seeing, feeling, thinking, believing - these are the stages of how we change our style on the outside and our self-image on the inside.

An intense anticipation itself transforms possibility into reality; our desires being often but precursors of the things which we are capable of performing.
