Okay, so in the past 3 days I have auditioned for Drama 3
Directing Scenes, Theater in Motion, and NatCaf.
I got callbacks for 3 different directors for the directing
scenes! One was the same day as the NatCaf auditions. It was a lot of fun and
had a pretty cool concept involving movement and thought and physical
embodiment of both. Funky, right? The other two callbacks were tonight. Also
tons of fun! Decisions on final casts will be made in the next few days.
FINGERS CROSSED!
As for Theater in Motion….I somehow managed to get a
callback for one of the choreographers! I can’t believe this is happening. The
callback is tomorrow night and I can’t think about it without getting extremely
nervous and self-conscious. Everyone I’ve talked to, though, says Ester (the
choreographer) is an absolute sweetheart and is excellent at directing. I would
actually really love to have the opportunity to be a part of the process and do
something totally out of my comfort zone. Wish me luck!
I kind of gave up on my hopes for NatCaf. After Bill crossed
me off his list, things didn’t look good for me. I kept checking my email
though just in case. While I was in the library trying to print, I opened up my
email again to find a very simple invitation to CALL BACKS FOR NATCAF ON WEDNESDAY! Oh my god!!! I almost
cried right there in the library. Thank you thank you thank you NatCaf!
I can hardly believe any of this right now. Never in my
wildest dreams did I think I’d be cast for anything while I was here on
exchange. I’d take drama classes and go see shows and that would be it. But in
one weekend I put myself out there a thousand times over just to see what would
come of it, and some of the craziest things have happened. I had nothing to
lose by just going for it and I can’t believe how lucky I am right now.
It’s been really nice to finally feel like myself out here.
Even maybe a better version of myself. I am beginning to feel welcomed here and
I want to thank everyone who chose to take a chance on me. I will try not to
let you down J
WAY TO GO! The only way to overcome the "new kid" phenomenon is to tackle it just the way you are tackling it. Got my fingers crossed for you, and congrats on your courage, my friend. You remain an inspiration!
