Post half assed comments you will later have to explain.
The explanation: I have no interest in being a director. I am not so self deluded to think I would be any good at at. My interest in studying directing is about the desire to grow as a designer.
I attended a very good school for design. Although there are some graduate design programs that would assist me from a career standpoint, there are not any that would not be in some way redundant to my undergrad. Not saying I have nothing else to learn as a designer, far from it. But I feel as if I am at a level of development that the continued growth will be through doing it, and I am at a point where people will pay me to design, vs my paying someone else for the privilige.*
I want to study directing to better understand the process from that standpoint. To gain some new insight into text analysis, and to get a better grounding in some performance styles that place the actor at the center of the theatrical experience, as opposed to the playwright.
I think I offended someone whom I enjoy working with immensley, and who is very dear to me personally, by my post about grad school. So, I hope they will accept this mea culpa.
*Wow, could that paragraph have sounded any more arrogant?

Wait which paragraph was the arrogant one? I missed it.
And who was offended? No one should be offended by that! Everyone has a right to try something new in their career field -- or completely out of their career field, for that matter.
