Persistence and curiosity may be the most important qualities we possess, yet I'm not sure they are the easiest to access. We are curious about everything as a baby, but seem to bury that away as we get older. What happens? How do we rekindle that curiosity? I try to spark it in my theatre classroom, especially at the middle school. A few students have told me that they would like to try working backstage, or performing, as a result of the class. They would never have wanted to do so before. I wonder: what specifically sparked that curiosity? What keeps us interested enough to feed that curiosity and to continue exploring?
How can that be applied elsewhere?
