A day off is never really a day off, is it? I remember being in college/just out of college and lying in bed all day because I had nothing to do. Or rather I had things to do I just didn't care to do them.
Well here I am, late twenties, waking up naturally at 7:30am and taking care of business. The apartment's a mess, I have to see my chiropractor, I have to go over my lines and music for Gint, the gym is calling my name, we have no groceries, there's theatre to see…
Exasperating! There have been times that I wish I could just curl under the covers and disappear on days like today. And thank goodness I have a car because seriously I wouldn't be able to do any of this without a car. Or I would…but maybe I'm too lazy…maybe I'm not.
What is nice about days off in general is that when you're in rehearsal for a physically strenuous show (read: GINT) is that you can refocus, recenter, regroup. So that's what I'm doing. One cup of coffee at a time.
While I'm writing this of course I'm thinking about OMG I need to email the world about Gint, get casting directors to see it, or even just let them know it's happening….
Okay, Cindy, stop. You can't do that now, you're doing this now. You are brewing coffee and writing this blog. Stay focused.
So Gint. We just finished our first full week of blocking rehearsal and I think it's safe to say that we needed this day off. It has been so physical, there has been so much technicality involved that by the end of rehearsal I'm ready for a nap.
But I'm having a blast. I actually haven't had this much fun in a long time working on a show. Yesterday we staged this big hog/troll scene and I couldn't stop laughing, I was having so much fun. It was exhausting, sure, but I was throwing myself into it and having a blast. I can't wait to delve deeper, but I gotta say, thank goodness for days off.
Not too much to update on other than Gint. Please come see it, the cast is incredible and I think it's going to be a gorgeous show. Also there's a hootenanny that I'm arranging the music for before the show and you can have beer, cheese, and pork rinds. What more do you need?
GINT tickets and info…
Alright so now I have to go do the things that I really really need to do. Onward.
