(no subject)
I think I have an unusually eventful life. Things change for me at a pace I can barely keep up with myself, much less find the time to communicate to all of you. Since my last update Damian and I sold the house, broke up, and each moved away for the summer. I have a boyfriend. And a bunch of other shit.
My theatre life has been busy. I was a finalist in a directing competition at ACTF in Reno, I directed a one-act play, and I acted and danced in the variety show I produce every spring, Night of Stuff. I moved to Olympia, WA for the summer to stage manage for an exciting new theatre company, Animal Fire Theatre Group. We're doing Macbeth. It's the best thing I've ever worked on. It's one of the best plays I've ever seen. It closes tomorrow.
And in the last two days I have decided that what I really want to do, and am 95% sure will happen, is to take a year off school again and do shows around the US. I already have the next Animal Fire show in Olympia lined up in November - January, and I've been invited to direct in Eugene in the winter/spring. I'm also looking at a short internship with a small company I really admire in NYC or Chicago, (it has two branches) and looking for stage management work in Minneapolis, Sacramento, or Portland.
I've written a lot about the break-up, my new boyfriend Chris, Olympia and the job. But a lot of that is just cathartic for me, I don't know how much you want to know.
Overall things are turbulant but good. I'm learning and creating a whole new way to live my life, both on a daily basis and in terms of the Big Picture. It's hard and weird and good.
It's very, very good.
