about tadeuz kantor
“He walked on the stage, directed actors, move props around but everything remained undisturbed … almost like he was invisible to the actors on stage … like he belonged on stage and with the audience at the same time. He moved freely across the three planes of the theatrical space.” - Guido Luciani

sensory memory and the points of connection
SENSORY MEMORIES AND THE POINTS OF CONNECTION
I believe that our “collective experience” - shared emotions, sensations and information essential in establishing “the points of connection” between people are, for the most part, sensory memories rather than new sensory processes. The information registered in our brains usually is far richer than the mere reaction to the stimuli. The smell of old books transports me to the time when I had a large collection of theater books, my beginnings in the theater and more importantly, to the person I was then. Somewhere in those memories there’s a - most of the time - ”indescribable feeling” which is “familiar” to many of us - a point of connection.

the bare character - exposing our true self
THE BARE CHARACTER - EXPOSING OUR TRUE SELF
Early in my career I discovered that unless I cleared the paths of connection from any preconceived ideas, feelings, intentions … and achieve what I call the Bare Character or Bare State of mind, I would be blind and unable to find the Points of Connection with others. Actors call it “being in the moment”, I call it “exposing our true self”. - Guido Luciani
