About the author
GAVIN QUINN, a graduate of TCD, is Artistic Director of the contemporary independent Dublin-based theatre company Pan Pan, co-founded with Aedin Cosgrove in 1991. Pan Pan explores new forms, new approaches and experiments with time, space, music and performance. It seeks the authenticity of the performer, humility of purpose, the world as a place of chaos and disorder full of oppositions, conflicts and complexities of existence. Pan Pan to date has created over twenty original and award winning productions that have been performed in locations from Seoul, South Korea to Dublin, Ireland.
Summary
Gavin Quinn visited the private homes of 100 actors and asked them to try and answer the question: Why do you think you became an actor? This book tells the story of these hundred actors. It is an aesthetic encounter where the actor talks to the reader from the stillness of their portrait within their own environments.
