Sometimes, I think that's that. I have passed on a small number of theatre opportunities and decided against auditioning for the Royal Exchange's production of Maxine Peake's Queens of the Coal Age, which has just ended its run - largely because I was going to be away from Manchester on holiday for more than two weeks of the run. I did catch the show and it was great: the community chorus element - largely silent this time - was well-done and it looked something I would have enjoyed.
Ideas for work come and go but the lack of progress (I appear to be stuck in a loop) has sapped my energy and enthusiasm.
But, ideas have started coming again. I did some work on an idea for a solo that I think is beyond my technical reach - I do feel that I should attempt a solo at some point. It's a fear I need to face and conquer.
But I have now had an idea for a group performance that I think has potential, although time is relatively short to develop and submit it.
But things look better than they did even a week ago. Momentum is everything.
