The Psalmist David says: “Where shall I go from Your Spirit, or where shall I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there. If I descend into hell, You are present. If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there Your hand shall guide me, and Your right hand shall hold me. And I said: «Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light around me become night.». But darkness is not darkness to You, and night shines like the day; as is its darkness, so is its light. For You formed my inward parts, Lord; You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are Your works, and my soul knows it well. Search me, O Lord, and know my heart; try me and know my paths; and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way.”

❓ Who is ARC Theatre Company?
👉 Class of 2022–2026, Acting Programme, Romanian Line
At the beginning of our journey, our professors gave us the book Zen in the Art of Archery by Eugen Herrigel and suggested that we call ourselves ARC Theatre Company. Actors are very similar to archers, and our art has much in common with the art of archery.
What explains the enduring fascination, unchanged for decades, of the experiences described in Eugen Herrigel’s book, lived along the “Way of the Bow” (Kyudo in Japanese)? It lies in the fact that the art of archery is not limited to merely trying to hit the target. When, after many years of striving for perfection, the archer finally forgets all conscious effort, so that the release of the arrow becomes perfect and occurs spontaneously, “like snow sliding from a bamboo leaf,” then one has discovered the secret of the “artless art” of archery, of Zen thinking, and even of life itself.
