Now that that's out of the way, on to the fun!
I'm hoping with this relaunch we can see the blog update 3 times a week (ambitious I know). In those updates I'm hoping to start different talking points to keep the blog relevant and give me things to talk about. So far I have:
Speak the Speech: These sections will be where I take a famous speech or character from the classical repertoire (Shakespeare, Webster, Moliere, and for argument's sake Chekhov etc.) and break it down in various ways that would be helpful for the performer. Completely nerdy I know but I love it and textual work and I want to share.
20 Questions (or Is it an Art, a Craft, or a Business?): This will be where I get to talk about the weirdness that is the entertainment business. Headshots, scripts, auditions, callbacks, grad school... It's all up for discussion. I'll pull from my own personal experience as well as the community.
Sitcom Situations: Those beautiful brief shining moments of comedy in my life as it speeds towards what I'm convinced is a Shakespearean Tragedy. This time, it's personal...
Peanut Gallery: Reviews about the things that interest me. Shows, books, movies, ideas, cultural phenomenon etc. Hopefully hilarious, definitely honest.
Performance Potpourri: Anything else I'm working on that doesn't fall into these neat categories. Ranging from filming Batman to writing a scifi series, it all ends up here.
Here's the fun part of how I envision this going forward, this is going to be a multimedia blog. There will be videos, articles, podcasts, guest appearances, pictures, jumbo trons, sky writing...
... Ok maybe not the last two, but you get my point. So buckle up everyone, Something Shakespearean is back!
