It feels like life these days is a gentle readjustment. That's not quite the word I was looking for but I will do for now. I am set on finding a sense of belonging in the Bay Area and opportunities are starting to happen across the boards. My cold is just about gone, however the vertigo and a bit of ankle throbbing are still present. Not debilitating, but strong enough to recognize.I think I need to be clear on what I want and how I get there. It's something that Dyan McBride mentioned in the Working Actors workshop on Wednesday.
The production work I have right now ebbs and flows a bit, so I am still looking for more work. I think this mish mash way will do it for me. A little teaching, a little admin work. I need to secure some time around yoga training to work on Funny Bone. There is a musician I've been emailing, but communication has stopped. I may need to repost on Craigslist. While getting my haircut yesterday I had a pretty brilliant idea. Create a little network group of other "high-end" service providers. Perhaps a stylist, an accountant, a pilates instructor and I could join together to promote each other. At least I could rent or borrow The Beat for a few hours and teach a free yoga class to allow friends & colleagues to experience the work I do and recommend to friends.
The personal life is a little harder. Without regular employment or being involved in a production my circle of friends and acquaintances here is rather small. I am not quite sure what do to about that yet. As I slowly shimmy my way into the artistic community, I think there will be more friends made and I will have a renewed social life.
Or here's hoping.
Gratitudes:
1. Old friends that remind me what friendship is
2. my new toothbrush
3. the dishwasher
4. keeping judgement at ease
5. fresh veggies
