Quote of the Week: Kenton Knepper

Whats the focus in your performance?
Just your own desire?
Sure, you can love dinosaurs or your preferred ideological tendency, but if you perform using specific topics without arriving to an universal concept that unites everyone, you will lose part of your audience.
If you are too explicit about your own views, your performance will be more preaching than an artistic expression.
This is what I call "archetypal narratives", which are a fantastic way to reflect your scripts and themes in performance. You can talk about your own preferences of course but be sure to share them in an way that everyone can feel part of it.
As Kenton says, lets connect, even with our differences. Showing off is just ego inflation, we can go beyond that, offering an experience for everyone and not just pretending to be interested in others.
We are all experiencing the mystery of life, the mind, relationships and the pass of time. All that can be touched in your performance using subtle themes.
If you want to explore this topics I highly recommend you both Kenton Principles and my latest "Mentalism as Art" videocourse
