what is the soul? - more questions

"as performers, we're faced with several crucial problems:

what is the soul?
what does it long for?
what are these spirits who inhabit our bodies trying to tell us?

inevitably, what these spirits desperately need to tell us reveals both in our day-to-day lives, and in our performances. because those spirits are so desperate to convey their feelings, they do so without the slightest restraint. at times, it's almost as though they're begging us, 'please, please look.' keep in mind though, that unless you visibly tear yourself apart, we won't understand what those spirits in ou are trying to say."

we could use them

i like imagining file cabinets built of fur and bones
