“With love and solemnity for his Art and Craft, the Actor discovers himself as a portal to the transformation of meaning, as a vessel of inner space and memory, as a navigator of both positive an negative space, as a willful mover of beliefs and world views, as architect, embodiment, and expression of metaphor and aspiration, and as a medium of ritual, a mover of humanity, an eye of the Unseen and voice of the Unheard in the three-fold present.” – Anton Juan
