Since I last wrote, I've had a few great things happened:
- Saw two of my best friends from high school get married to each other.
- Was cast in Gilbert and Sullivan's in Ruddigore as Richard Dauntless the outrageously eponymically and brash (if none too bright) sailor of Her Royal Majesty's Navy with an outrageous sense of duty (to his own heart and England) and an equally outrageous cockney accent. There are three other members of the Minneapolis Gilbert and Sullivan Very Light Opera's production of Iolanthe also in the cast! Let the Viking invasion of the Village Light Opera begin.
- In our Brecht and Beckett class, our group has presented three amazing scenes and reductions. Unlike other classes I've been in with multiple group projects, with this on going project we always work with the same group. Thus, we do not have to renegotiate the group dynamics, we know each other's collaborating styles, we know each other's personalities, and we work very well together.

I hope you're doing well.
It's been a while since Carleton, I know, but I wanted to inform/seek advice. I, too, am studying theater for social change in grad school, and I'm going to Moscow this January to do a pilot study on community-based and participatory theater. So, advice? Also, I went to last spring's Boal conference, if you want to know anything about it. Are you going to this year's in Minneapolis?
(Sorry for the seeming stalkage. I found this blog through LJ and have no other idea how to reach you.)

I really hope to be able to go to the conference. I am looking for funding right now.
