at the library. Another night just coming home from my one session very tired, so skipped the idea of doing something afterwards and went to sleep. Spent the rest of the night up and then sleeping again, today pretty full of energy. Now, another night looms after a few sessions. How will I be? Can I finally do something. Have not seen my friend Mel, who works at Lansdowne Road in a long time. Would like to check in with her. Well, we will see what happens.
Yesterday, just by accident, stumbled across a demonstration of Uta Hagen's acting technique, taught by one of her former students, now a revered teacher herself. Two students did a scene adapted from a Chekhov short story---she made some adjustments, the scene improved. I watched---sort of realized the same thing the teacher did---well I guess I know my stuff. Still not really interested in teaching---not that anyone has asked me to do it--so let's leave it. Reminds me of the summer of 77, when I sat in on a lot of classes at a Berghof---you can do that there. Not sure what i learned from them--I was still 5 years away from starting my own life as a theater person. Felt a little bit outside of things. I think at that time I was still forming myself---I was about to turn 34---kind of late, I know, but had to be done.
So life goes on--next week will be a full week at Friends, even beginning on Friday and Saturday morning as I chaperone the debate team. Will report soon.
