“Art and science work in quite different ways: agreed. But, bad as it may sound, I have to admit that I cannot get along as an artist without the use of one or two sciences. … In my view, the great and complicated things that go on in the world cannot be adequately recognized by people who do not use every possible aid to understanding.”

This 21st Century Organum
for Human Acting is dedicated to improve common knowledge about the art of acting and its interplay with the world. It offers ways of looking at acting with new eyes. It seeks to embed acting in the knowledge we have today. It seeks to communicate what we do in acting, understood from a 21st century perspective, to those who are interested and to make it interesting to those who might not yet be interested. In any case it is meant to create observability and to invite dialogue and further exploration.
