i believe that in the recreation of any performance we not only learn something about the person or persons who have created that work but also something about ourselves and our relationship to that person or persons
i believe that in the recreation of any performance i have a new understanding of that performance in that specific moment in time with the specific people that are witnesses or participants
i believe that in the recreation of any performance i gain an experience that could not ever be gained through text or visual images
i believe that in the recreation of any performance i will change
i believe that in the recreation of any performance it has the same potential to be something entirely different than any other time it was created
i believe that in the recreation of any performance those that may witness or participate in the performance will change
i believe that in the recreation of any performance the artist is responsible for being present
i believe that in the recreation of any performance the artist is not responsible for how those witnesses or participants will change after the performance, but responsible to have hope that change will occur

When I say the artist must be present I am not speaking in a ridge or physical way. The mental state that one must be in is of utmost importance to the success of these works. With that said the lack of being present must also be accounted for. In the lack of presence we must understand what that means within the work and within ourselves. Myself.
