Show me another actor who can jump from TV to Film to Theatre as well as Patrick Stewart. Despite the fact that my friend and I were in a “severely restricted” discount seat – one that required a leaning position to view half the stage – I can remember this event with much fondness. In the one-man show, Stewart flows from narrator to actor, from actress to apparition with the ease of Dickens’ narrative itself. He possessed the intensity and subtlety of emotion that is both so required in a transformation of such a character as Scrooge and so telltale of actors with strong foundations.
Of Jeff Wall’s contribution to contemporary photography, including everything from his ‘micro-gestures’ to his ‘accidents of reading’, nothing strikes me more than the exquisite production that demonstrates his mastery of the field. Wall has an inspiring theoretical and technical foundation at every level from pre- to post-production. This form of expertise, this technical virtuosity, is something to which I aspire.
