Bullet Points
- Peter and the pups are already at the Upstate House where i intend to join them tomorrow afternoon...can hardly wait..
-the group of 1st year Grads i am working with here at my "private studio" are working so well and hard...such enormous steps taken, and I am impressed with their hard work ethic...the group fluctuates..with one going off to do a job, another joining here and there..but the main energy stays steady...i like it. we are working on various journal writing exercises to get them to open up to the world around them, and then to get out of their heads and more into their bodies....a common plaint of the classically trained singer...they are taught to be in their bodies in a certain way, and other emotional reasons for letting their body completely feel and express go by the wayside...I am trying to remind them they can do it all, in an integrated and healthy way....and to not do the emotional expression completely is robbing themselves and their audiences of the full power of their talents. This group seems to "get it"...each week they look and are more liberated in their work. Thrilling.
-Tomorrow (getting in the way of my going Upstate as early as I want to) is another"meeting" about the Adam Sandler project I am still on hold for...this is news to me, as I had assumed their interest in me had waned..but my agent tells me they have been calling all month to check to see if i am still available...I do wonder how this is supposed to work out....well, we'll see.
-Going to see WITH GLEE tonight downtown at NYU at the Skirball....several students in it...promised I'd go...so i shall...Peter was to go with me, but is Upstate instead, and other attempts I've made to get others to come with me have failed...no one wants to go all the way downtown in this heat. Seems like a far awaycountry in such weather.
-Reading and reading more Reginald Ray on Vajrayana Buddhist studies...love it so much. Meditating consistently. Feels extraordinary. Insights come pouring in.
- More soon. xxxx
