Ancient Greece
Perhaps the most important concept the Greeks held (that we often
forget) is that theatre must be about the awe of the universe. Always,
with Greek drama, conflict arose from characters who toyed with
fundamental elements. Whether it was finding out that you've committed incest
or that your ego has blinded you from seeing the truth,
Greek theatre was radical - it looked at the very roots of our existence.
As thespians we can find inspiration in this purity. Whether you are an
actor, writer or set designer, we can forever use Ancient Greece as
our touchstone for keeping our priorities in check.
