dreamwork/bodywork
by gwethalyn So, it’s my favorite time of the year again! That’s right, time to take my stretchy velvet pants off the mothballs and dust off the K-tag. Thanks to a shorter than usual hiatus as a result of our extended fringin’ season last year, I can hardly believe it’s here already . . .…

Session 1, Part 2: Our swelling ranks and Cocteau.

anticipation
Today I’ve been reading over old scripts and getting excited, made some more Wordle things. MXTW, beyond the solid satisfaction working with highly creative and dynamic teenagers, allows me to maintain a connection with that part of my past, and I really enjoy that bit of nostalgia.

My legs are toast!
