The Encyclopaedia Britannica defines Renaissance man, also called Universal Man, as an ideal that developed in Renaissance Italy that “a man can do all things if he will.” The ideal embodied the basic tenets of Renaissance humanism, which considered man the center of the universe, limitless in his capacities for development, and led to the notion that men should try to embrace all knowledge and develop their own capacities as fully as possible. I consider today’s guest to be such a man. It is my honor and pleasure to introduce you to the Director of Dreamlike Puppet Company, Arthur Poore.
