Goethe’s Advice

I’ve used this quote in the warmup room at festival for years.

“Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.”

Attributed to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

We spend our rehearsals gaining knowledge and building a framework of unified intentions. We know what we want to do, and we are willing to do it together.

Every performance is a chance to apply what we know and do what we’re willing to do.
