Homework

One of the classes we have this year is Company Development, which deals with the nitty-gritty of forming and running a theatre company, from health and safety to grant writing to finding rehearsal space. Our first homework assignment is due on Thursday:

• Write freely and openly about your dream life as an artist. Leave nothing out. Where do you want to be? What kind of work do you want to do? With whom do you want to work? Do you want to be married? Have kids? Pets? Your own yacht?
• A few days later, write the five biggest obstacles to the realisation of that dream.

I'll let you know what I come up with. At the moment, this assignment is what's churning up the spaces in my head and heart.
