get me thinking
Wrote this yesterday afternoon.
One of my college professors once told me to get out of the country to learn something for my chosen field. I never really thought about it until recently. I have an opportunity to do so next year, but would I want to take it? Especially when I’m already doing pretty well here?
I’m now one of the founding members of a new fledgling amateur theater group, once school-based because it was the product of our thesis. It’s just an organization of students for now; we have yet to register it so we can go pro.
For now, we’re in the process of writing our own show. This time, I want to be part of the artistic staff not just as stage manager, but hopefully also as dramaturg (that is, if they do agree to it). That would be cool. Well, not necessarily the one who solely comes up with the material, but I’d like to help with it. I’m just wondering how we could come up with an interesting show and stage it in less than a month. I don’t even know if that’s humanly possible. But well, we all made it through 2 shows, so hopefully we can do this.
