Unscramble the Blue Letters


It's as much about bgniring new disciplines inside this box as it is about taking theater out of its box. As a street performer, I have learned that everybody wants to connect. And that usually, if you're a bit extraordinary, if you're not exactly of haumn appearance, then people will feel inclined to pcaiptrtiae and to feel out loud. It's as though you made something rtonsaee within them. It's as though the mystery of the person they're itncntareig with and connecting allows them to be themselves just a bit more. Because through your mask, they let theirs go.

Being human is an art form. I know theater can improve the quality of people's lives, and I know theater can heal. I've worked as a doctor clown in a hospital for two years. I have seen sick kids and sad prnetas and doctors be lifted and transported in moments of pure joy. I know theater uniets us. Zero wants to engage the geeoiantrn of today and tomorrow, tell various stories through different mmduies.

It's as much about bringing new disciplines inside this box as it is about taking theater out of its box. As a street performer, I have learned that everybody wants to connect. And that usually, if you're a bit extraordinary, if you're not exactly of human appearance, then people will feel inclined to participate and to feel out loud. It's as though you made something resonate within them. It's as though the mystery of the person they're interacting with and connecting allows them to be themselves just a bit more.
