9. QUOTATION
I like this quotation by Anne Bogart, artistic director of the Siti
Company, and has written a book, A Director Prepares. She says in this
book:
"Do not assume that you have to have some prescribed conditions to do
your work. Do not wait. Do not wait for enough time or money to
accomplish what you think you have in mind. Work with what you have
right now.Work with the people around you right now. Work with the
architecture you see around you right now. Do not wait for what you
assume is the appropriate, stress-free environment in which to
generate expression. Do not wait for maturity or insight or wisdom. Do
not wait till you are sure that you know what you are doing. Do not
wait till you have enough technique. What you do now, what you make of
your present circumstances will determine the quality and scope of
your future endeavors."
Nike said the same thing, but more succinctly: "Just Do It!"
Please join us to write, compose, choreograph, sing, act, direct,
design, produce, musicals. Let's Do It!
