Against all odds – knowing that with this choice there will be no pension – no dental- a life of poverty – and only a 40 second applause for all your work. Theatre artists are people who give. They give and give. There is no building or sculpture to show for your work. There is no evidence of what you did once you have done it – For Theatre artists there is just the 40 second applause and the possibility of respect from everyone around you for a couple of years. It has to do with ego and the need to please. I need to make people laugh. The Dell Arte School and Michael Fields taught me how to do that. It’s a great school.
