Thesis to reader, and choreography!

[breakinglight11]

Today I submitted my thesis to my reader. That means it is technically complete. After I receive her comments, I will get a couple more days to revise before it gets bound up in its final form on Lesley's record, but that is the last time any of my teachers will read it. I confess I am a little disappointed it will basically still be in first-draft form by that point, as the majority of it was written for the last submission, but I am happy it's done. I do believe it has potential. I will just have to work on it in my post-Lesley career. I'm thinking of scheduling a reading of it with just my friends to hear how it sounds. I know it needs revision, but at the moment I'm too close to it to really know what it needs, and I'm hoping that a reading will provide a better understanding. Still needs a name. I submitted it under the name of "Mrs. Loring," which is probably right, but I still don't like how similar it is to Mrs. Hawking. Eh, maybe it would only matter to my biographers.

Also I got a cool assignment at work. I'm going to be choreographing some pre-show dancing for Merchant of Venice, which is set in a New Orleans speakeasy, as put on by Zero Point Theater. It's going to be a fun challenge, I think, and I've always wanted the chance to do more work in dance. I will likely also be one of the dancers myself, which would be cool. I dream someday of getting to dance ballet in performance, as that is the form of dance that interests me most right now, but I am excited to have this opportunity. Here's to another point of variance on my theatrical resume, and a chance I probably wouldn't have had if I didn't have this job at Zero Point.
