In meetings to co choreograph and AD "A Chorus Line" at my college
Choreographing and AD for "Annie Get You Gun" in 3 weeks
(Martha Graham from a letter to Agnes de Mille) "There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening That is translated through you into action, And because there is only one of you in all time, This expression is unique. If you block it, It will never exist through any other medium And be lost. The world will never have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, Nor how valuable it is, Nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours, clearly and directly, To keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware Directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction, A blessed unrest that keeps us marching And makes us more alive than others."
Im opening Into the Woods in a few weeks as the Steward and then go into rehersals for Fiddler on the roof ensemble.

Assistant musical director for Grease. I know, Grease hardly needs an assistant musical director, but it's a mainstage production at my college and I'm working under a professional musical director, so it's pretty cool. It's also at the Majestic Theatre in Boston, which is always a fun place to work at.
It's bad luck to say "good luck" but I believe it's okay to express just how proud we are of all of you who are working so hard to keep up the interest in "this proferssion unique".
My school is doing a series of short plays for our end of the year show. I'm in one called Intermission. It's a nice, funny little piece.
"The stage is where I live and come alive and act out all the things that go on in my life. It's not just what I do for a living, it's my shrink and my love affair. No one in my life has ever or ever will kiss me on the mouth like this lover called my relationship with my performance."
