Reflection on the Santorini Voice Symposium

Just as a stage production manifests itself, so that as soon as the collaboration begins one has to let go of all preconceived notions, so it was at Santorini: impossible to continue as a single individual on a singular journey, now part of a collective, banded together from completely opposite points of view, different cultural backgrounds, different generations, different “voices,” be it native tongue, foreign tongue, or no tongue at all. We were open, ready, and willing to wholeheartedly support an unknown. What remained constant was the need and will to participate, to involve one’s self in the process. I have never seen that level of collective concentration in a Linklater class.
