Audience members and performers can sync: brainwaves, heartbeats, mirror-neurons. This connection is how we reach Aristotle’s catharsis, Peter Brooks’ holy theatre.
This is why- despite all pandemics, lack of funding, lack of education- theatre has and will continue to live. It lives outside style, genre, and time. It fulfills our biological need to connect.
I strive for communal, cathartic, holy theatre; as an artist and a witness.
