Getting There

The NYC updates and normal blogging will resume this weekend...I hope. Just having a rough time with getting stuff ready for school and dealing with artistic differences and dealing with people and their unmitigated egos. I now understand how Bob Fosse felt when he said he hated collaborating and preferred working alone. I know theatre is all about collaboration, but not with people who have NO FUCKING CLUE what in the hell they are doing. This has gone from a labor of love to whoring myself out for the money. I am not just not happy and not enjoying myself and the only thing that gets me going is the people I am working with in the cast whom I love dearly. I guess in a way this is a good lesson about just sitting back, doing my job, and letting others control everything else. Also works out nicely when it comes to people pointing fingers, as long as my ass does nothing else but choreograph, I am only responsible if the people think the dances look like shit. I knwo it sounds careless of me, but I am tired of of not being heard and I am tired of this level of bullshit. I know it probably isn;t better in NYC, but I would rather deal with it on an AEA level then a think-i-know-it-all level. ARGH! I am so frustrated...
