RAT The fireside
Let us not bicker and contest to see who holds the most wit. We can't
change the world if we bicker as egotists and fools. With all the crap and
nonsense no wonder why theater is a "dying" art. As actors, writers,
directors and what not....we are thesbians...at a more intrinsic level we
are storytellers. Way back in the day our place was around a fireside
telling and acting or dancing out vibrant stories, which not only portrayed
life in certain dynamics or demensions, but taught something as well. We
entertained the kids, we made the adults laugh and we brought smiles of
remebrance to the elders...but in the end we took something out of our
little bags. A pearl of wisdom which was not social or political, but
universal and human. Not only did the audience take that pearl with them,
but we did too. The shine and the sheen which that pearl carried was
awesome. The pearl was passed from soul to soul and with that the story
was too. I don't know if I'm even getting my point across...or maybe this
is a simple lofty notion of a naive young artist, but there is something as
a theatre communtiy or more appropriatly a theatre nation that we need to
find and remember. Somehow...and I have not figured this out, but somehow
we have to come back to the fire and find that pearl.
Thanks and Love,
Sean Harvey
