Hey guys,
Had the last official meeting of my Performance class for "The Resistable Rise of Arturo Ui." Parting is such sweet sorrow. Even though the cast party hit some serious speed bumps, no one seemed to hold my explosive temper against me, and I didn't want to bring up what I felt were some serious foibles on the part of my fellow cast members. It's like Nadia said: what happens at the party, stays at the party.
I'm going to really miss having that purpose, having those friends around, to perform with. I gave a little speech at the meeting, basically talking about how lost I felt here in Australia after the first few days, and how nervous I was about taking the class and the time committment, but how happy I was in the end that I stuck with it. Having that purpose, that niche, and these friends has been invaluable to my time here.
I'm glad about how it all turned out. This has definitely been the best production I've worked on so far, in terms of final product. The only thing that comes close is Masque, but that was a ver ydifferent experience, and it would almost be like comparing apples and oranges. Maryrose, my director, has said that this has been one of the best groups that she has ever worked with, and that means a lot, particularly from a woman that knowlegdeable and experienced.
Now, on to the Laramie Project. We can't rest on our laurels, now can we? I hope the skills and the knowledge that I bring back with me will be enough to really grab those parts that are offered to me back home. :)
