"Most people I meet are secretly convinced that they’re a little crazier than the average person. People understand the energy necessary to maintain their own shields, but not the energy expended by other people. They understand that their own sanity is a performance, but when confronted by other people they confuse the person with the role."

- Keith Johnstone

"In a healthy ecology, there are many strains of similar species: Many strains of wheat…many strains of salmon…many strains of humans…mono-cultures tend to be weak. The same is true, I believe, of activism.

"I know people doing great and urgently essential work on structural change. Theatre is (in my opinion) most powerful when it is dealing with human behaviour. This makes the theatre a great vehicle to encourage the behavioural change that supports and makes structural change both possible and sustainable."

- David Diamond, Theatre For Living

Look around you. Are you absolutely alone? Or are there people who know where you are?

Are there people around you in this environment?

Look at them slowly one at a time. What theater piece are they performing for your benefit?

What is their purpose? What effect are they trying to create in the space?

What effect are they trying to create on you personally?

To what degree is it working?

What exactly makes their theater piece effective on you?

What exactly causes their theater piece to be weak, inauthentic, unconvincing?

Are you moved? Why or why not?

Are you inspired by their theater piece? Exactly why, or why not?

What have you learned just now that could help you improve your Conscious Theater?
