My roomate is getting her masters in architecture and one of her projects is to design a theatre anywhere in the world. Me being a theatre major I was telling her about this theatre in Germany where the stage was on hydrolics and could be changed from round to thrust to proscenium. I am not sure if it is still there but I definatly know it was built in the 20th century. Does anyone know the name of this theatre?


(Martha Graham from a letter to Agnes de Mille) "There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening That is translated through you into action, And because there is only one of you in all time, This expression is unique. If you block it, It will never exist through any other medium And be lost. The world will never have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, Nor how valuable it is, Nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours, clearly and directly, To keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware Directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction, A blessed unrest that keeps us marching And makes us more alive than others."
