inspiration is crisis

the twenty-four hour theatre project alluded by my previous post has grown into a many-toothed monster, a hydra with four heads that hungers for artistic expression from multiple media.

we've changed the name to the 'twenty-four hour project,' and begun the hard work of putting together the festival. the signups have been trickling in, and we have representation from uwec's theatre, dance, music, and art & design programs. the idea is to provide creative and performing artists with an incredibly stressful environment in which they are forced to produce (produce! produce!) in an extremely limited time frame. we are designing it to be stressful. inspiration in crisis? no. inspiration is crisis.

more on this l8r.

work on my novel continues. as does work on a full length play. my direction of 'the vise' is well under way, and the time outside of rehearsal that my actors put in to memorize their lines and build their characters warms my little heart. with two weeks until one-act tech, and the twenty-four hour project next week, not to mention rehearsal for 'the shadow box' on the main stage, I am hoping at least to find some inspiration of my own among the tears and moans of my schedule. also I am still a full time student.

woe, woe.
