Quotes
Chinese Proverb: Tell me and I'll forget, show me and I may remember, involve me and I'll understand.
Kendrick, Tommy: If we could read minds, we wouldn't need headsets.
Beaton, Cecil: Be daring, be different, be impractical; be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary. Routines have their purposes, but the merely routine is the hidden enemy of high art. [Advice to theatrical designers,]
Hall, Peter Ruthven: Designers play with scale and proportion, making the ordinary extraordinary by taking an object out of context and changing its scale in relation to the characters' size and appearance.
Hudd, Rob: If I wanted to have people tell me what to do, I would have become an actor.
Unknown: When it's good design, you alone will know. When it's bad design - everyone will tell you!
Williams, Bill: The first rule of stage lighting is... There aren't any.
Wilde, Oscar: The stage is not merely the meeting place of all the arts, but is also the return of art to life.
Brustein, Robert: Theatergoing is a communal act, movie going a solitary one.
