Naturally, I took pictures. Here are two of Dafoe from that spring. The first is from "The Devils" < http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/Work/Theater/Dafoe_DevilsJ33_1973_AMR.jpg.html > This one is from "Premise", an original production by a grad student, Guy Meyer. In this, the studio theater was divided into areas for each actor (or actors) and the audience walked through on their own schedule as the performers ad-libbed in character. Willem Dafoe was "Death". < http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/Work/Theater/Dafoe_Premise_1973_AMR.jpg.html > Also in "Premise", Jeff Browne portrayed the "Mirror Man", who would mimic whatever the spectator was doing. This is his response to my photographing him. < http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/Work/Theater/Dafoe_Premise_1973_AMR.jpg.html > -- Alan Alan Magayne-Roshak, Senior Photographer University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Photo Services (Retired) UPAA Photographer of the Year 1978 UPAA Master of the Profession 2014 amagayneroshak at gmail.com <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/> "All the technique in the world doesn't compensate for an inability to notice.
