IMDb Updates and Instructions from SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher

"Eat at a local restaurant tonight.Get the cream sauce. Have a cold pint at 4 o’clock in a mostly empty bar.Go somewhere you’ve never been. Listen to someone you think may have nothing in common with you. Order the steak rare.Eat an oyster. Have a negroni.Have two. Be open to a world where you may not understand or agree with the person next to you, but have a drink with them anyways. Eat slowly. Tip your server. Check in on your friends. Check in on yourself. Enjoy the ride."
– Anthony Bourdain
"#Dramaturgy is many things. It is the design of information, it [is] also the academic side of the #arts. Its core purpose is #accessibility and clarity. Making sure your #audience knows what you want to say, and making sure your performers can say it with confidence." --Emma Bilderback, as per her website (Without the hashtags, of course): emmabilderback.com. This quotation means a lot, especially for someone like me who is looking to go to graduate school for dramaturgy.

This week's Torah portion is where Jacob wrestles with the mysterious "ish" (angel? himself? Esau's angel?)

It's a profound scene in which Jacob receives a new name: Yisrael - one who wrestles/struggles with God- for which an entire people is named.

I find it a powerful reminder that in Judaism, it's not only ok to question, wrestle, and struggle -but that doing so is part of our deep identity. It is a blessing. #ShabbatShalom #JewishMastodon #Judaism

I must have watched #Fame a hundred times in high school. It got up my courage for #theater auditions, it inspired me through low spots, but most of all it pulled back a curtain to show what a vibrant community of creative people I could join if I let my guard down and went for it.

On his way to where the air is sweet

Today being an #IntimacyDirector looks like explaining consent-based casting practices and guiding a #HigherEd #theatre department in creating their own informed consent policy.

Actors should be able to determine whether a job works for their boundaries BEFORE they sign their contract.

This is better for actors’ physical and mental health & safety; it also facilitates directors’ processes, because you’ll cast an actor who’s earnestly excited to perform the role.
