Diane Paulus Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Diane Paulus:

When you're a freelance director, you are hired to create the art, and it kind of stops there.

Being a director, whether you're in rehearsal or you're in auditions or you're in a creative meeting, is so much to me about being present in the moment. There's a sense of time stopping.

Diane Paulus

The mission of the A.R.T. is to expand the boundaries of theater through works of the canon and the new works of tomorrow.

Diane Paulus

I want an audience that will come sitting forward in their seats.

Diane Paulus

I listen to music, I read scripts, and I know pretty intuitively if I can unlock it in a way. It's actually very liberating when you understand that not everything is for you.

Look at where I lived! Four blocks from Lincoln Center. I used to play in the fountain. And then I started taking dance lessons. I was in 'The Nutcracker' for the N.Y. City Ballet when I was 8 and dancing in 'The Firebird' for George Balanchine when I was 9. Believe me, that's something you don't ever forget.

Diane Paulus

It's freeing to not be caught up in your own personal baggage.

Diane Paulus

As a director, I never feel that I have the answers.

Diane Paulus

I think every theater in America wants a younger audience... and you can't just hope to have a younger audience, you have to program things that audience is going to connect with.

Diane Paulus

I'm always interested in looking - historically - at how theater can animate history and how all of that can make us engage with our lives in an enriching way.

Diane Paulus

I've gotten to the point that I don't even know what tomorrow brings. When I'm teaching, obviously I'm in town for the class every week.

Diane Paulus

I grew up with a beautiful gold harp sitting in our living room. My older sister played it.

Diane Paulus

Opera is the ultimate art form. It has singing and music and drama and dance and emotion and story.

Diane Paulus

I really challenge every actor at the beginning of a process, and I always say, 'I have an idea that I'm going to bring to the table. I hope and expect that you will have an idea and bring it to the table. But the way I really want to work is that together we're going to have a third idea that is better than either of our ideas.'

Diane Paulus

For me, the reason why people go to a mountaintop or go to the edge of the ocean is to look at something larger than themselves. That feeling of awe, of going to a cathedral, it's all about feeling lost in something bigger than oneself. To me, that's the definition of spectacle.

Diane Paulus

I think actually what keeps the intensity manageable - it's a little counterintuitive - is that it's changing all the time. Every week is different for me.

Diane Paulus

I am always looking for what piece, what artists, what playwrights, what directors, what subject matter is going to catalyze an audience.
