December 7th, 2014 11:30 pm Bedtime. Taking over the homestead by ourselves for a few days after saying goodbye to our new dear friends. The house feels happy with all the creative juices absorbed, kind wishes of safe travels transferred.
A full day. Arose at 4:15 am to take Elena to catch a 6:20 bus out of Hanover; rehearsal for her for another play started this afternoon in New York. Back to stoke fires and converse with Jennifer Kiger and Diane about Indiana roots, empowering oneself, embracing all the contradictions of being an American, Ocean Springs, Mississippi and their dynamic Democratic female mayor. Then I drove Jackson, Kym, and Jennifer down to the Citgo Station where we’d taken their non-snow tired cars to rest for a day in a parking area and wished them well for a safe trek home. Jackson will return on Wednesday, driving up with Leah Gardiner, one of our 4 directors in our second group, after a quick visit home to New York with Lola and Dickson. And back to Fuller Road to pick up Diane and her 1:20 bus out of Lebanon. Lots of driving today.
All hail, Philip Himberg of Sundance Theatre Lab! Originally we had Maria Goyanes and Stephany Ybarra from the Public Theatre joining us next week as artist mentors, but this all changed with the recent tragedy surrounding Oskar Eustis’s son. I reached out to Philip to see if he or he and Chris and Ignacia might think of joining us for a day to replace Maria and Stephany and Philip got back in touch with me immediately saying they happened to be at Mass Moca in North Adams, Massachusetts about 2 hours away. After details and timings were worked it out with his staff, he has agreed to drive over on Thursday to join us for lunch and to lead a discussion/workshop with our 4 directors. Fantastic!
To sleep!
