ART CONCEPT
Two phrases that are touchstones to my work are “Words in the theatre are but a design on the canvas of motion,” by Vsevolod Meyerhold and “The dramatist is not the son of the poet, he is the son of the dancer,” by Edward Gordon Craig. I’m also a great fan of “Be well versed in the arts of pen and sword” by Miyamoto Musashi. Theatre is a physical experience, and though we begin with the written word, we experience and create it in physical space.
