It feels like things are calming down a bit here on the work front for the moment. Future projects are settled for the time being. Still busy working, but all the crazy prep stuff is largely out of the way for now. The show in NJ is open and out of my hands. I was really done with it two days ago, but the choreographer wanted me around yesterday so I went to the opening performance to keep an eye on things.
Next week I am in tech for two shows. Stirring with Shalimar directed by my friend Shoni and then Firebird with New York Theatre Ballet. Both of these should be rather low stress, or so I foresee. Stirring is in tech from Tuesday to Thursday and the NYTB show Techs Friday. I then run the NYTB shows all weekend.
Monday, we begin focus for the show I am assisting on at the New York Theatre Workshop. All The Wrong Reasons is being lit by my friend Mark. It is in previews for eight thousand years. Ok two weeks, but still . . . I am there in large part to deal with the previews. Mark has to leave early. So I am there to be available to the director until opening.
I have never done a show at the Workshop, so I am looking forward to this. Plus Mark is a lot of fun to hang out with and we have not seen each other much since he was at NYU. It will be nice to reconnect for a bit. Oh yeah, and do a show.
