Workshops

 "We live in a new era in a human civilization where mediatization and the internet confine us to a different kind of thinking and learning. In today's visual culture, permeated by notion of culture as well, the focus is being shifted from linguistic-conceptual thinking to a creative one. Creativity is much more appreciated, and so are all those things that machines are barely, if at all, capable of executing. These skills are can most effectively be acquired through the arts, including theatre. Therefore, I believe the arts the education should receive more emphasis in education and in corporate training programs, and that it is crucial for the "high culture" of the theatre not to lose its social influence. Change must be acknowledged and turned to our own benefit. It is not enough to simply use and abuse traditions and knowledge, we must consider them and take note of our new realizations in a new notebook. For that, we need new sheets of paper, new colors, new pens, and new thoughts."
