Interviews and things

This week I've finished up everything that has to do with the Borderlands aspect of my project. I conducted two interviews (one from someone who saw Pancho Villa and one from one of the actresses) and am pretty satisfied with the way the answers fit into my paper (which I have also been working on). Apart from that, Saturday was the first day I visited Deborah while she was teaching one of her classes at Live Theatre (this play is the first one she has directed for LTW but she does a lot of teaching there) and her directing and teaching styles seem to be pretty much the same to me. The performances have also been going well although things usually feel a little hectic during the play (I set up the backdrop, Christmas tree lights, and sparkly background, do the makeup for some of the actors, do the puppets, control the music for all the songs, change the sets in between scenes, help actors with costumes, and clean everything up), although I prefer this to not having very many duties and having to watch the people who do. Overall things are going well and I have no complaints. My paper is coming along nicely and I absolutely love what I'm doing.

Ta ta for now!
