I've spent the last 2 days at the computer, 10-12 hours at a stint. First I was editing the Jet City interview with Andrew McMasters -- to appear on Kipley's Actors Life site later this week.
Then I spent all last night happily eating Chinese food and writing, "Advice to a Director Teaching Actors."
It really is pleasurable to help bring things into the world that you wish were already there. I see both of these as the testaments to the power of Asking For Help.
I asked Andrew if he'd do an interview, and in 3 hours had so much golden information about founding and growing a theatre company, I was blown away. Dorothy asked me for advice on teaching at BCC, as she teaches at other venues. I ended up writing about how to run your own director's lab, in the tradition of Stanislavski & Grotowski. Pithy, deep, and I hope useful.
Okay. More chow mein, broccoli beef, a grapefruit, and I'm out. Out! Out of the dang house!

sometimes you start something, and you can't stop until you're finished. Chinese food is good for that, because you can snack on it continuosly and not have to stop what you're doing or break your train of thought.
