Two weeks done

We are in the midst of our "Calculus of Shakespeare's Language" class, now down to the Vowel Tree ("fuh-her" ) instructed by Christine Adaire who trained with Kristin Linklater, after noting every possible permuation of the iamb, verse/prose correlation, and the ever popular antithesis. But we also just started our Slapstick/Farce class -- assignment one: with three people and a given 3 minute soundtrack, make a silent movie in two days.

Nice thing about this program, as opposed to the only other two in the country in summers (Central Washing and Oregon), is that our instructors are working professionals from the Goodman, Steppenwolf, Chicago Shakespeare Festival, various Broadway shows, Jeff's Awards, with a couple from Boulder (Joel Fink and Sean Kelley).

Seeing lots of shows and filling notebooks and reading late. . .
