A couple of links from recent browsing that are related to things I’ve been writing about, but don’t warrant full posts:
- Evelyn Rodriguez at Crossroads Dispatches writes about the Theatre of Engagement. She includes a quote from Peter Brook that touches exactly why I’m toying with the idea of taking acting classes:
“Theatre exists in the here and now. It is what happens at that precise moment when you perform, that moment at which the world of the actors and the world of the audience meet. A society in miniature, a microcosm brought together every evening within a space. Theatre’s role is to give this microcosm a burning and fleeting taste of another world, and thereby interest it, transform it, integrate it.”
- The guys at Piper are studying the knife-fighting techniques of South African convicts and gangsters. From a post at We Make Money Not Art, I’ve found a series of photographs taken of life inside a Cape Town prison by photographer Mikhael Subotsky. Very interesting background information.
