Every so often, say around once a year, I need to sit down and refocus. I call this getting my hunger back. I usually write out a list of several ideas, concepts, goals, dreams, and anything else that strikes my fancy. Then I narrow it down to what I want. This can be anything from getting my MFA to getting a new equipment bag. In this list are also job goals and dreams, personal life goals and dreams, ect ect. I then pick two - three and set all my energy towards that goal. So far, I will have to say I have a very successful return on this work. Well it is that time of year again. I have my list of crazy ideas that I collect over the year, now time to just sit down with some beer and music playing and set my goals for the next year.
FYI this last years goals were - Change programs at UNO, direct a successful Spring show, Pick up choreography work in NOLA, Pass all my classes and maintain my excellent GPA (the only reason I care about GPA is for scholarships), pick up AD work with Operas, move into a better house, Make connections, and finally direct a show away from the university.
All accomplished.
Next!
