This blog is a space for questioning, provoking, and reimagining what acting is — and what it’s for.

Theatre can’t afford to play it safe.

And actor training can’t afford to stay stuck.

We don’t just need better techniques.

We need better questions.

About how we train.

Why we perform.

And what it means to do this work — seriously, joyfully, and with purpose — in the world we actually live in.

Thinking Theatre brings together provocations, insights, and working ideas from the evolving practice of ACT for Acting.

Some posts offer arguments. Others raise questions.

All of them come from a desire to do the work — as actors, teachers, and humans — with more clarity, care, and courage.

You don’t have to believe that actor training can save the world.

But it should at least make sense in it.

And maybe — just maybe — if we train actors not only to meet, but to interrogate the world as it is,

they might just play a role in shaping one that’s better.
