Teddy Hayes
“Can-Do Attitude: Essential to develop because all along the way people will hit you with questions like: Is it worth it? Why is it taking so long? This is a very hard business isn’t it? Are you sure you’re doing the right thing? and other questions that might make you doubt yourself. Just keep doing what you are doing and decide that whatever you need to do you will find a way to do and that you can do it, even though at the moment, you might not know how.”
Teddy Hayes, The Guerrilla Guide To Being A Theatrical Producer

“Magic is the most philosophical performing art, because — like philosophy — it replaces the illusion of knowledge with the knowledge of illusion.”
Nikolas Jintri
