Look at me, look at me...

This semester, I have the opportunity to work with Mark Jackson, who is a noted play write and actor in the Bay Area. He is an innovative artist and pushes the boundaries of the conventional theater outlook. He recently wrote an article in Theatre Bay Area, which is a source for many artists in the area. In the article, he speaks about his experiences teaching students at SF State, where he once attended. He compares the “real world” i.e. the so-called professional world of theatre outside of the walls of a university. Saying that, some of his best work that he has done, has been with students at SF State, that the students are hungry and eager to be a part of this world even thought there isn’t near a well off budget to support what they are capable of.

I can’t do Mark as near enough justice as to how he speaks about our peers and how his words are an inspirations to our work. Knowing that someone is SEEING us.
