Love my Dramatic Lit teacher!
"Nietzsche, whom, as you know, I love, talks about a storyteller in The Birth
of Tragedy and how the storyteller by delving so deeply into his personal
story ultimately goes beyond the personal - the personal experience becomes
an experience that reaches beyond the self, dissolving the boundaries between
self and other. But it is only by going through the absolutely particular
that this kind of universality can be reached."
-Jeanne Willcoxin
“Theatre is neither a text nor a commodity. It is an activity that needs to be in ceaseless contact with the realities of the world and the inner necessities of our lives. If theatre changes the world, nothing could be better, but let us also admit that this has not happened so far. It would be wiser (and less euphoric) if we accepted that it is possible to change our own lives through theatre.”
