Quiet! Work in Progress: May 2008
http://qwip.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
An Actor's Peril. A Writer's Vice. Friday, May 16, 2008. That's the bottom line. Anything that is unfamiliar causes anxiety and anxiety can cause any human to jump to irrational and illogical conclusions. Made me angry and scared. I then commented to my husband that Obama probably made the right choice to concede West Virginia and not make a glut of personal appearances there because they might have shot him on the spot. Of course- that was MY FEAR talking. Isn't that what we all do? Links to this post.

Quiet! Work in Progress: July 2008

An Actor's Peril. A Writer's Vice. Sunday, July 20, 2008. To Last Tango in Paris. And I never found him anything but bold and honest. That scene in Last Tango in Paris. What they neglect to mention is that it is just a job. It is a rewarding and fun job that requires great skill and commitment, but it is just a job. Not only is it difficult for those who love the actor, but it becomes a burden to the actor him/herself. Look at what happened to Marilyn Monroe and Judy Garland. Without proper persp...Is it...

Quiet! Work in Progress: December 2008
http://qwip.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
An Actor's Peril. A Writer's Vice. Friday, December 26, 2008. I am in the process of reading Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf. Again and again and again. It is through these reads that I begin to form a plan of attack for the text. This is generally how the reads progress:. First Read: I get a general impression of elements within the text- themes, character, relationship, setting, etc. I try to tune in to the story and remain open to see what, if anything strikes me. What is completely foreign to me?

Quiet! Work in Progress: April 2008

An Actor's Peril. A Writer's Vice. Tuesday, April 15, 2008. Logic of the Dreamscape. There are types of dreams that we all have in common. Anxiety can sneak into our dreams in a number of ways- all of them fairly obvious. Who hasn't had the dream about finding yourself naked in a public place? I'm naked over here! Why aren't you looking at me? Finally the lights came down and Carol Burnett herself was kind enough to come onstage and start singing "I'm Shy" from Once Upon a Mattress. Links to this post.

Quiet! Work in Progress: October 2008

An Actor's Peril. A Writer's Vice. Friday, October 24, 2008. It's an Oliver Stone film. Is a sympathetic portrait of a man in over his head. However, Stone's film carries all the hallmarks of a muck raker's restraint as he struggles to make a monster into a man. W. Barbara Bush, but her emotional choices were quite clear. But, it's an Oliver Stone film. Links to this post. Saturday, October 11, 2008. The Struggles of Year Number 1. I'll let that comment stand. It is the most bizarre and complicated ball ...

Quiet! Work in Progress: Mary Stuart
http://qwip.blogspot.com/2009/04/mary-stuart.html
An Actor's Peril. A Writer's Vice. Friday, April 17, 2009. In 1587, Mary Stuart (more popularly known as Mary, Queen of Scots) lost her head. In 1800, Friedrich Schiller dramatized the events leading up to her death focusing on her relationship with her jailor, Queen Elizabeth I who also happened to be her cousin. Over 200 years later, a London production of the aforementioned play crossed the Big Pond to appeal to American audiences on Broadway. In general, I found this play enjoyable. The acting is...

Quiet! Work in Progress: August 2008
http://qwip.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
An Actor's Peril. A Writer's Vice. Friday, August 22, 2008. What is Tom Skerritt's Lifestyle? I used to be obsessed with Tom Skerritt. It wasn't that I liked him or his movies or even that I hated him or his movies. I was just fascinated that an actor could work so much and still avoid the spotlight. Most people don't even know who the hell he is- until they see a picture and then they say "OOOOHH! Who is out there eagerly awaiting the next Tom Skerritt project? Which happens to be Whiteout. It isn't tha...

Quiet! Work in Progress: November 2008
http://qwip.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
An Actor's Peril. A Writer's Vice. Monday, November 24, 2008. All right. I've narrowed my decision down to two texts. I'm not ready for the big reveal yet. I'd like to finish re-reading them before I get started on the nitty-gritty. With the holidays and all, I don't have too much time to spare. In fact, I've been trying to get a couple of hours to myself for the last 4 days and have been wildly unsuccessful. Links to this post. Tuesday, November 18, 2008. Let's Have Some Fun. Which would give me the rar...
