My perception of theatre as a spectator has been distorted by the fact that I suffer from chronic headaches. This means that I cannot sit through even the shortest scene without tuning out of the words.
I therefore have a particular fascination with visual aspects of theatre. I love dance (and directed part of a dance show last year - see photo), am very fond of physical characterization and I like strong use of lighting.
But within the framework of straight drama I still think the text must come first, and I am particularly keen on finding the musicality of the lines which can shine through for me even when the words themselves do not engage.
