Our theater has become so realistic, so driven by film, that we ve kind of lost that sense of make-believe. I m just fascinated by the way a puppet can take on such human qualities in the hands of a skilled manipulator. This static face can somehow take on the whole range of emotion. It s just amazing, that what s essentially a doll becomes human. I have thought some about television.
Television is more like the stage.
So much of what I do is in response to what I m getting from people, what s happening in the moment when we re all together. Film is too discontinuous. I m also thinking about a break from theater. I might work for Sigma Chi fraternity. My second year here I was selected as a Balfour Fellow for Sigma Chi, and it s been an incredible experience.
