Hello, goodbye

I just got back from our class performances for the Meisner Progression. I struggled with the scene, and it didn't feel like I was making significant progress until the last rehearsal yesterday. It could have been better.

Still, it was great! I learned something very important. The process and homework for a role works. When we got out there in front of an audience all the work we had done paid off, and it went very well indeed. I would have liked a more rehearsals. What I carry away is the wonderful, stupendous energy we felt on stage and from the audience. I know I could have done so much better, and it makes me hungry. So what? It doesn't take away from the wonderful experience in any way. What a wonderful gift. Gifts. A great performance. Knowing how much better I can do. All of which is delightful.

Our class is over, and I love every one of my fellow travelers in that class so much. Excuse me while I go smile and cry myself to sleep.
