How...?

Well, Let's just start with my anxiety dream last night: 

It's opening night, I'm about to go on and I'm blanking on my lines. I'm tearing the dressing room apart. I can't find my script. I can hear my scene coming up on the monitor backstage and as the dream progresses, my heart starts to race until I wake up with a gasp and sweat on my brow. 

For the record, in my dream, I was Hannah in Tennessee Williams' The Night of the Iguana -- which was my senior directing project in college. Way to bring it around, subconscious!


I worked on a film project over the weekend. It was mostly improvisational and I knew that going in. I was terrified the night before the shoot because I've been exhausted lately and what if I can't deliver? I felt like I only had two brain cells left. It wound up okay - I took a sleep aid the night before and I had a good time on the set - but I'm definitely stretched too thin right now.

This week, I am going to say no to a couple of activities. Ironically, they are theater-related activities -- which kills me, I should be networking at both (!!) However, I also need some blank space, some "farting around" time to work on a piece for an upcoming workshop. Sometimes, I find the management of creative energy a little difficult.

See? Thanks to "farting around" time: we figured out how to engage the rapid fire on Fred's camera. Wheeeee!

"Way to bring it around, subconscious!" ... hilarious! I'm glad to hear you decided to build some breathing room in to the schedule---LAST JULY! (oops, I'm a tad behind on my blog reading). I hope it went well. Mostly, I've come to comment about the rapid fire photos. You two are SO ADORABLE. xox
