Not here, not I...

It feels strange to be back, but the last couple days in Zurich were really amazing and in retrospect I probably should have pushed my flight back een farther than I had... but oh well. Completely back in the grind of school now. Class and rehearsals and more rehearsals... I am not sure how I feel to be back, actually. I am not as excited as I thought I was - everything seems a bit dull after such a whirlwind summer, but I suppose that is natural.

There is a furture in store for me abroad, I can smell it... and almost taste it. I am not sure where my life is going but I know that I've been lucky so far, and hopefully that luck with stick with me. I miss Switzerland so much, though. The environment, the cows, but most of all the people and my friends. I made such good ones there this summer, and rekindled old ones. I am not sure what I am doing in New York anymore... I am really starting to feel that I need to get away.

In October I have an invitation to go back to Zurich (for some business prospects) so I will try and make that happen, although it really depends on how school starts to unfold. Next week begins ADing for the Second Year production of 'Stage Door' directed by Hal Brooks. I am excited to get to watch a professional director in action, because I never have before... so definitely something to be learned there.

Currently directing a whole crapload of Beckett. Getting prepared to go to my first rehearsal of 'Not I' a one person short play that features just a pinspot on the mouth... it ends up looking like a blabbering mouth suspended by nothing... here is one of the most famous versions, starring Billie Whitelaw:



Other beckett that I will be direcitng includes Happy Days, and Endgame. I think I will also get to act in Endgame, since the directors are directing themselves in class...

So I guess it will be an interesting year, I suppose I am just spoiled from Europe and miss it dearly.
