Communication

Above all, theatre is a place where we can communicate. We can offer ideas from different cultures, viewpoints, political leanings and personal experiences to audiences. A performer is in essence a communicator. As you train you will become aware that not only are you empowered to communicate effectively theatrically, but in your day to day dealings you will find yourself more at ease articulating needs and thoughts, and receiving those from others even when they contradict your own, Performance, at its best, transcends language, and connects cultures. It communicates other possibilities of seeing the world.
