Going to see theatre
Mon, 27 Aug 2001, 09:37 amjust somethings i thought of last night:
personally - i do not go to the theatre often. i can't drive myself around and i don't have any money. :-o
is it as important that actors go to see theatre as well as act in theatre(or whatever they want to act in)?
what are everyone elses views on this matter?
i act, sing, dance, play 2 instuments and am involved with a couple of theatre companys as well as help run one.
as a part of learning about the performing arts - should young actors go to theatre to help them learn? does attending theatre make a better actor?
i would love to hear other thoughts!

Sorry, but I have to comment here
Art cannot operate from inside a vacuum. If you do not see theatre then your repetoir of possibility will be very limited (no matter how talented you are). Give your art a chance - get out and see some Theatre - not just your friends - but save your pennies and get to see some of the amazing international acts that come to every Australian city during festival time. (this is of course asuming you are in Australia!)
Seeing what other artists have to offer will put you in position of power, it will fire your imagination and open up a world of possibility that you never even dreamed existed.
Having talent in this industry is not enough. Talented artists are a dime a dozen. You need to have a talent for talent. Don't sabotage yours. Learn from people who are more experienced than yourself.
