Week Three Readings

1. In Border Boda, Waller writes, "For the audience, here and throughout, there is, then, no unequivocal place to stand, and that is the point." From her description of the production, does this sound like an accurate statement? Did they use ambiguity effectively or further confuse us in an issue with too many questions and not enough solutions?
2. I found Teddy Cruz's work to be especially inspiring. He is definitely onto something when he talks about just how dated and ineffective so many of our structural spaces are for modern life. I wonder what could happen if there were revolutionary thinkers like him in every field? If politicians, businessmen, city planners, educational administrators and artists alike reexamined the way things have always worked in their field in light of recent societal shifts, what might start to change? In what ways does theatre still cater to an older version of our country and how can we use our art to both create beauty and respond to a need?
