The difference between the act of expression and the act of creation is this: in the act of expression one plays for oneself alone rather than for any spectators. I always look for the actor who 'shines', who develops space around himself in which the spectators are also present. Many absorb space into themselves, excluding the spectators, and the experience becomes too private. If students feel better after doing the course, that is a bonus, but my aim is not to provide therapy through theatre. In any process of creation the object made no longer belongs to the creator. The aim of this act of creation is to bear fruit which then separates from the tree. - Jacques LeCoq
