“I regard the theater as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.” – Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)
Of course since Wilde wrote this powerful quote there has been the advent of Film, which could be seen as the younger ‘cousin’ of theater and now the more common branch of the performing arts. There is undoubtedly a fundamental truth to performance; it is life representing life with the actors portraying humanity to itself, tethered only by the limits of the imagination. There are people relating to characters, sharing in their pain and their experiences whilst viewing the world within a microcosm of itself and for the most part never leaving their chair!!!. Performance you’ve got to love it!
It is my love of Theater and Film that has led me to find out what services are available to the people of the Wollongong area. Having done a few armature performances with school productions I am keen to see what else exists for the aspiring actor and this is the purpose of this blog.
It is my aim to seek out what facilities are available, to talk with actors, directors, producers and all manner of people in the arts and ask them about their experiences and their life in theatre and film. I hope you enjoy this look into Performance in Wollongong as much as I am going to.
