I find theater very lazy and artificial, and then when it’s not, it lacks refinement. Natasha Tsakos Read Quote
I was commissioned in 2003 to create an original show, and began developing ‘Upwake.’ ‘Upwake’ tells the story of Zero, a modern-day business man, going to work with his life in a suitcase, stuck between dream and reality and not able to decipher the two. I wanted ‘Upwake’ to have the same audiovisual qualities as a movie would. Natasha Tsakos Read Quote
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. Natasha Tsakos Read Quote
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 parents and doctors be lifted and transported in moments of pure joy. I know theater unites us. Natasha Tsakos Read Quote
I love theater. I love the idea that you can transform, become somebody else, and look at life with a completely new perspective. I love the idea that people will sit in one room for a couple of hours and listen. Natasha Tsakos Read Quote
