I could not end this post without mentionning of course the death of Marcel Marceau. This is a tragedy for the worldwide community of actors and performers. Chrisophe Tournier, in a tribute to him on his blog, pointed out two beautiful videos of him and his work. Many great actors and performers have recently left us. It feels as if they still had so much to teach us…
