Joey Tremblay Thought 3

My name is Joey Tremblay and this is my 3rd thought. I think that we need to keep repeating the mantra that theatre is essentially a live event. It's ephemeral, it's of the moment, it's full of possibility and full of potential failure. It can't be rewound but is perpetually forward moving. I mean despite the failure, despite the accidents, it just keeps chugging ahead. So, let's make theatre that embraces this. Let's not make theatre that requires a passive disengaged audience of distracted observers… you know, a T.V audience. Let's make theatre that endows the audience with an essential role. Let's make them an active part of this exchange. Let's always be always aware of the essential feedback loop of between the performer and the spectator. And let's please acknowledge that everyone in the room is shaping and altering the work.
