Thatre is an observation of human life. We see what we are, what we are not, and what we could be-- and because of this, theatre is the thing from which all other inventions and ideas and realities stem.
"Therein resides the essence of tehatre: in the human being OBSERVING ITSELF."
- The observing- I, I-in-situ, and the not-I through an imaginary mirror
- See yourself seeing, feel yourself feeling, think your thinking (capacity for this self-knowledge is "theatricality")
- As an actor, you learn to guide yourself, see yourself, ACT on yourself.
- Part of "seeing yourself" is discovering varieties, discovering alternatives, imitating other people/actions/animals. Only with acute self-awarness can you do that.
- DICHOTOMY-- seeing itself seeing.
~the being becomes human when it invents theatre~
- fill the space between "I am" to "I can be", the space between what is, but does not exist
- theatre is the true nature of humanity
- at first, actor and spectactor were originally the same beings, they are now separated.
