Ed Wood
I just finished an egg nog latte from Starbucks. I'd love to be able to say that Blenz is better than Starbucks, but it's simply not the case.
Something interesting about Face Acting came up in rehearsal today. Barbara said "let the feeling that you want to put on your face trasmit through your whole body, and then let your face reflect the emotion. If you go straight to your face, you're stuck there." This is useful information, and provides a better alternative than "don't face act!", which is my wont.
Also when we went to get beer afterward, Barbara was talking about art and said "People say we're intense, but if you don't have intensity, what do you have? Just mediocrity. Maybe my work is just the worst crap you could ever see, or then again maybe it's brilliant, but I hope it's not just mediocre. Because Ed Wood was awful. Reeeeeeaally awful, but people are still talking about him."
Mediocrity is death.
