Potential Being
I see we are this thin ego of gossamer.
Performing ourselves on a tragicomedy stage. When you are alone
do you act for God? Or do you act for your parents or for self love?
Do I perform for the Monkey, like a monkey clashing cymbals
for praise and an odd coin?
I am not the same minded as many but as an actor I seem to
enter the alternate universe and become my potential being.
This is what drama can do for students, allow them to become
their potential.
In todays world that opportunity is so rare. We do not
believe we can transcend ourselves!
Theatre is an act of education. A rebellion of the self. It
is a deeply political act and a process for human development.
My whole educational career has been about qualifications.
It should never have been this. Human development is the purpose of education
and theatre is deep human penetration to potential. But politicians want
industrial subjects, not Engaged rebellious humans!
