THE LEGISLATIVE

"The difference between humans and other animals resides in the fact that we are capable of being theatre. Some of us 'make' theatre- all of us 'are' theatre."

This quote stuck out to me a lot, because I realized it has a lot to do with us being artists, and having the ability to create and change scenarios. He later talks about wanting to change people's worlds by the theater, even after they leave the show. For them to want to take what they witnessed in the Forum into other situations and settings. I feel in terms of my acting that's the best outcome I could hope for. "Forum Theatre is a reflection on reality and a rehearsal for future action. In the present, we re-live the past to create the future." I feel that as actors the fact we can do that gives us the opportunity to change the outcomes of situations, and sometimes doing that through our acting we inspire people to take control of their lives and futures.
