I am blogging on my shift at Hope Stone, listening to the cute three- to five-year-olds in their creative movement class. One of them just remembered the word "allegro", which I find very impressive. And one of my teen kids just walked in wearing makeup, which is unusual for her, and it's thrown me and now I can't remember her name.
This morning I was trying to figure out why I was feeling so unmotivated to do anything productive and then realised that I probably have licence to be tired right now, what with a hardcore rehearsal of Tom & Huck (with the alien choreographer) yesterday followed by a dance class last night. So I took it easy this morning before going to another Tom & Huck rehearsal. I drove the alien choreographer to his house afterwards...or tried to but missed the exit, so he directed me to Hope Stone and caught a bus home. I'm catching his vibe a little more now, and I really enjoyed rehearsing with him today. Now tonight it's off to Sound of Music rehearsal.
I had a good chat to the creative movement teacher before her classes started and she was asking me how I've been getting to know the theater scene in Houston, and I realised that I'm slowly putting faces and names and places to all of those things I read on the internet before I even got here. It's cementing more and more in my mind that I want to apply for the Master of Fine Arts program at the University of Houston, but I need to actually meet the people there before I mentally sign up for it. Plus I need to look at the tuition fees and figure out if we can afford it. (Remind me again why Americans dislike economic socialism??? They just love overpriced degrees they have to pay off before they're ready???) The Head of Acting has said he's happy for me to come in and view a class and chat to him about it, but Tom & Huck rehearsals are kind of preventing that at the moment. Hopefully after next week the show will be up and rehearsals will calm down.
