'No Matter.Try again.Fail again.Fail better.'
Samuel Beckett.
 

There is a fascinating combination of anarchy and comittment at the Miskin which needs to be cherished and embraced.
Investing in 'firm fun' whilst understanding the discipline involved in being an artist is  very rarely found within the confines of training grounds for young actors ,but i believe that the Miskin under the guidance of the creative team have found this balance perfectly.
As a working professional in theatre,one dreams of a playground where you are able to explore and excavate a certain text without the constant fear of failure and in the Miskin i have found that.
Not only is it essential that the truth and understanding of the harshness of the world of the business is voiced and absorbed, it is almost imperative that for the time they are at the Miskin the ethos learned is that there is a responsibility to yourself and each other that this is a time to play and explore and delve and allow your self to fail.
Firm Fun
