So the year begins and not one but two unrelated blogs are being asked of me. I'm glad to have an excuse to self-indulgently vomit my feelings into the computer. The other blog I will be writing weekly for ArtsLehigh about my experiences directing R&G. So I'll generally be doing a lot of reflecting this semester.
Today's class was a lovely reminder how much fun it is to play. I'm looking forward to engaging myself in warm ups and exercises and I'm very excited to work on Electra since I've never done any Greeks. I've read As You Like It and The Misanthrope but have never done scenes from them, so those will also be fun.
I love the feeling of being totally engaged in the present moment. I felt it today as I often feel it in improv. The feeling is especially thrilling when you recognize that you're a part of a group that is achieving something together. Singing together today in order to get Alex to put the shoes on his hands felt very right - the surging positive reinforcement, the group mind focused on a shared desire - it's intoxicating.
It's a total bummer, but I have to go wash gross dishes now. I might just barf-around all over my kitchen.
