Adapting To Circumstances

Spent a most fruitful morning at Jurong Regional Library helping our drama guys prepare for and deliver a couple of performances in a room they've got there set aside for this kind of small public performance. It's not a perfect space for doing something theatrical in nature, but that's the point. Any space you can fit an audience into can be made to work assuming you've got enough imagination and determination, and the necessary skills.

Peter Brooks's The Empty Space remains the best book on acting I've ever read (and one of the shortest - just one of its many virtues.) Wish I knew what happened to my old copy.
