Why, Hello!

       Hi I am Tom Leidenfrost. This is the first time I've had a blog, like this at least, for a class, yet I am sure it will be a fun place to put down my thoughts and learn from you all. I am a theater student (FPA: Theatre Concentration) who is getting a minor in philosophy. You may have seen me in a production here at school or heard me playing accordion across the quad on occasion if you don't know me. I haven't taken a philosophy class since freshman year, although I feel I have still been trying to discover the truth, or at least of a version of it, within my own artistic works. Theater to me is philosophy in motion, more or less, and my reason for taking this course is to investigate how I can apply some of these ideas to my work. As with theater one must be willing to take risks. I may not know all of the answers but will do my best to articulate them in my future posts!
