I wish that being in An Oak Tree was something every human could experience. Why? I remember this beautiful feeling of putting myself in the hands of another human – in the hands of a theater full of humans in the service of a new expression. Akin to participating in an exhilarating jazz jam session. A kind of metaphor for love. The thought flashed through my mind that I was like a newborn hungrily absorbing the world for the first time. We are so taught and encouraged to control our realities. An Oak Tree was a reminder that life can be simple and does not have to be so forced. Too much thinking is exhausting and can keep us from fully experiencing our world and the people around us. Too much control sacrifices the discovery of content for form. Discovery is the joy of life and by extension art. Most importantly being a part of An Oak Tree was fun. An absolute BLAST! As Tim guided me off stage I knew in my gut that something inside of me would never be the same. It is a most welcomed change. I dedicate this experience to my sister Ewa.

I wanted to send you a quick email to let you know that my sister and I
saw An Oak Tree a couple of weeks ago - second row... did not know what to expect. YOU were really, really wonderful. We had tears in our eyes a couple of times.
Just wanted to thank you and wish you much success!
And Tim was amazing as well. It was a terrific experience. It was unique and completely entertaining. To be honest, I was curious as to how a woman would portray a man, but she was was extraordinary. I would highly recommend it! (And have!)
Kind regards,
Sue Checchio
