“I wake when my body decides. Coffee espresso outside. Look at the vines on salvaged metal trellises from a scrapyard. In fall, they’re changing in ways I can feel but not name. A bird I don’t recognize. Clouds are performing their dissolution. I’m not observing—I’m participating. The world tells me what it’s doing if I stand still enough. I pet my dogs, Oskar and Pierre. I love them so. ”

“Human-to-human interaction isn’t that what life and happiness are all about? Reward and success are understood in terms of emotional, physical, and mental effort. And that’s exhausting, fulfilling, and rewarding. That is what is lacking, what humanity is losing, and what is being taken from us by technology, consumerism, materialism, and urbanization. People sharing with other people. ”

“I see my work like that of a diviner. When I meet a group of people that I am going to work with, it is thier needs that I must discover and respond to. The confluence of the inner and outer world is the center and what dictes the work. It guides the work and tells what needs to be evaluated, affirmed, and balanced. This is the practical function of theatre. ”
