Theater publicly reveals the human condition through appealing to both intellect and emotion. Architecture, whether lowly or exalted, can do the same.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
What's exciting about theatre is observing human behaviour. You're constantly making judgments about body language, the physical, the emotional, the intellectual.
I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.
Characterization is integral to the theatrical experience.
Theater is, of course, a reflection of life. Maybe we have to improve life before we can hope to improve theater.
But theater, because of its nature, both text, images, multimedia effects, has a wider base of communication with an audience. That's why I call it the most social of the various art forms.
I think that theater is a unique way to communicate with people as they gather together with other people they may not even know. It creates a sense of shared community for the time of the performance that hopefully carries over into other aspects of the audience's life because they have shared this experience together.
It's communication - that's what theatre is all about.
I'm passionate about music, and I feel that theatre has an extraordinarily musical ability in the way it operates on the audience.
If you think there is anything in theater that objectively exists without your point of view attached, you are wrong.
Theatre demands different muscles and different aspects of one's personality.
