Re: Bios. First and Third Person

Eight years ago I made the choice to move to New Mexico, where I had no friends or family, to receive an education, an education in technical theater but still an education. There I spread my wings, discovered who I was and other tried and true clichés. In the end I was better person for it. Then I left and moved back to California and floundered. Tech work was abundant but it never felt quite the same. I worked at a major theme park near Los Angeles and did a number of smaller gigs with storefront theaters. It was an eye opening and learning experience. So now I move to Seattle and try to ride this strange torpedo where ever it will lead me.

achievements more. I mean, just be more specific in what you've done. We
don't even know you are a lighting designer from your bio, you know? Hehe, I
have a feeling you are the only one of us that is going to be told "Make it
LOOOONGER."
2.) Thanks for Shunpike stuff Brenda. Gannon and I worked on it last night
and are hoping to get it sent in today or tommorow. It's pretty informal,
but I'm going to summarize what we came up with (I'd type ity out exactly
but it's long and plus I'm at work an I forgot the paper at home). Remember,
this is in no way locking us in to anything. We can change this at anytime.
Shunpike even said it was more to get us thinking about it than official
paperwork.
a. Our Mission: To reinvigorate the theater arts.
(Sal, when we met with the Shunpike guy, he told us we needed a one sentence
mission statement. This was the piece of our mission statement Gannon and I
thought could encompass the rest.)
b. Our audience: Young working class individuals and outreach to
marginalized youth.
c. What we have done so far: While this is our first show as a company,
individually we have done a lot of shit (We listed a bunch of vague
impressive stuff)
d. Where we see ourselves in 2 years: With a regular audience, with a core
group of artists and technitions to work with, with a steadily increasing
budget, and one other thing that I can't for the life of me remember right
now. Don't worry, it wasn't anything like "and a closetfull of dead
kittens."
e. What are your plans for the next year: 12th night, spousal homicide,
grimm brothers, SPACE (which is what we tentively named the co-op, let me
know what you think--it stands for Seattle Performance Artist's Cooperative
Education)
So that's what we have on the form. If anyone thinks they have been
misrepresented, or is worried and wants to hear the exact responses to the
questions give me a call or email and we'll fix things. Like I said, I'm
turning it in tommorow at the latest, tonight at the soonest, so make your
call happen soon. Wanna get the ball rolling.
3.) Auditions. We are taping auditions this Saturday. We have reserved space
at TPS (where we've been training) from 12 - 3pm. Actors need a short
Shakespearian monologue. And you don't need to be there the whole time.
Gannon has specifically asked some of the actors he worked with in Fall Off
Night to audition and we put an audition notice on craigslist and on this
listserve called seattle performs. We wanted to join TPS and put an audition
notice on there, but we can't join until January. So that sucks my hairy
balls.
4.) Gannon and I went to the Theatre Puget Sound fall forum this weekend and
learned alot of cool stuff we want to talk about to everyone.
5.) This week can we find time to : a. have a production meeting b. have a
training session? PRoduction meeting is way more important than the training
session.
6.) Wednesday does someone want to come with me to A Winter's Tale and does
anyone else want to attend a talk on Public Arts Education in Seattle?
Enough for now.

Here's my attempt at a first person bio. Besides play up my achivements what
else could be improved on.

do the public arts education thing too, as long as I
am not working. When is it?

cool if someone who wasn't going to Winter's Tale would go to that. If no
one wants to go, I can step back from Winter's Tale and go to that instead.
