The Countdown To February And The URTA NUAI's Now Begins In Earnest

Well.

I've registered for the NUAI's in Chicago. And I made the choice that the roster will show me as a scenic design candidate. That is because the computerized system that URTA uses lists areas of emphasis alphabetically, even if you enter things in your order of preference.

Sigh. If only they had a heading for scenography. But that would be too much to ask.

So to play it safe, I defaulted to just scenic design. No inclusion of properties. Nor technical direction. Or lighting design.

Even though there will be portions of each in my presentation portfolio. And some costume design items too. In part because at least one of the schools I am looking at requires evidence of work in at least two areas. And another states: "While you may choose an area of emphasis, the intensive three-year program requires you to demonstrate competencies in all areas of design and technology. ...". So I think it is worthwhile to include such items.

Because I am hungry for a graduate program.

Sigh yet again.

The email reply says that processing takes about two weeks. Then I'll be getting my scheduling email, and can arrange for airfare and accommodations. 

I know that patience is also a weapon. I do. However, I fear that until I can get my accommodations and all arranged I shall have difficulty wielding that armament.

In other news, the process with Antigone is moving ahead. I have a cast. Rehearsals are underway. And a separate update on all of that will follow in due time.

More later.
