Tsakos, a performer and director who works across theatre, technology and design, wrote this line while struggling to explain what she does in a single word. Job titles, roles and labels are convenient, but they quietly set limits: once you are “the accountant” or “the creative”, others - and you yourself - expect a narrow range of things. Existentialists argued that human beings always exceed their definitions; Sartre’s waiter, playing at being a waiter, is the classic image of bad faith. The line invites a kind of freedom: hold your titles lightly, as descriptions of what you do now rather than verdicts on what you could become.
