world theater day

i actually randomly stumbled upon this by someone who is not technically a perf stud (though really, had life circumstances been different, i can totally see rumagin being quite a perf stud in a number of ways), but i think it speaks to a number of ideas i've held for a long time.

i remember first telling people i was double majoring in theater and anthropology. everyone thought this was crazy because a) the only worse than theater for finding work is anthropology and b) what could the two possibly have in common with each other.

and agosto boal on this World Theater Day, states it all quite clearly. but to sum up, we are all actors. life is spectacle. it is what you do with your action and spectacle that makes or unmakes (sometimes both) the world. so today i remember dwight and will consciously work to create social justice through activism, art, and academics.
