“The more elaborate our means of communication, the less we communicate.”
Tip: press → for another quote, C to copy, S to share.
In 1984, I turned to theater in the hopes of finding a more direct form of communication between me and my people.
The first work of the director is to set a mood so that the actor's work can take place, so that the actor can create. And in order to do that, you have to communicate, communicate with the actors. And direction is about communication on all levels.
Eventually, it is found out but it takes time especially in the conditions when communication is difficult, when the enemy is making it extremely awkward for information to come out, to go.
It is not enough to show people how to live better: there is a mandate for any group with enormous powers of communication to show people how to be better.
