Turning The Corner

At Playbill this evening, I had a brief discussion with a director whose work I admire very much. That forty-five second exchange left me feeling better about my choice of career than I have in months.

The Fall was stupidly busy. It was also frequently busy with things that, although they paid really well, had little if anything to do with being a designer. Given that I went through a lot of trouble and no small expense to become a part of United Scenic Artists, the union that represents theatrical designers, the lack of design work has been exceptionally discouraging.

Having that moment this evening of "Oh yeah, you are someone I would be really excited to work with!" has recharged the ole battery a bit and I feel motivated to try and find more design work.

Now I just have to get better at marketing/ publicity...
