"Inspirational" words from artists like Cecily Berry and Stella Adler have been posted in the VCA stairwell throughout the year. Their message has been more subliminal than anything. Who posts them? Staff using every opportunity to inculcate student actors? Young zealot actors whose eyes are glassy with theoretical fervour? I've got no clue.
The theatrical lesson here is really all about timing. The end of the school year is here. The directors finished classes today, the actors will finish up projects next week, and the third years will be released into the big bad entertainment industry. Sure, the theatre is a stressful place sometimes.... but there really is no need for emergent theatre makers to take things SO seriously! The levity is appreciated!
