(no subject)
so today was just…long and tiring
school was school and easy-ish, I'm not really actually thinking about my classes this week.
So tech was tech, ummm…we got the signs put through, I'm having a really hard time giving up pieces of my vision for this show, but it's what I have to do…I guess. Some choices that Ellen is making really frustrate me as a designer, but then she's handling me as a designer from a director's standpoint so well that I'm completely okay with her cutting stuff. It's just, I hate the feeling of going as close to pouring my life into a play as what I've done with this one, everything fit, it was all just perfect, and she keeps cutting stuff, much more for practical reasons I know, but it is just so challenging. On top of me being sick and just overly-emotional to begin with as what with the way life is going, being at those rehearsals is difficult, but COMPLETELY necessary for me.
I'm just drained.
But, everyone at rehearsal today was so awesome, I mean so totally and completely awesome, it was really encouraging, I'm damn proud of my set, and yes I'll make changes (lots of changes from my ideas) because it is about the show, and I know that, and respect that. But thank you so much people who were at rehearsal today, I think I'll probably need that all week, especially if Lois isn't going to be there. We also just desperately need someone to control the tech crew, they're all at a loss of what to do, and it is ridiculous, but I can't deal with making sure Verge goes well and making sure they're produtive, I can't do both, and I have been. So…ummm, can't really fix that, but it's a definite problem.
okay, ranty post number 2, hopefully these will become happier as the week goes on, but I'm betting it's going to get worse, unfortunately, before it gets better.
