Today has been a pretty good day.
I taught Pioneers of Modern Drama. Students worked in small groups discussing what are factors pushing theater to change, what the changes should be, and how / whether the giant of modern theater Konstantin Stanislavski still has insights to offer.
Then students reflected back to the larger group. We cracked jokes, and poked fun, and dreamed and schemed and planned our artistic revolution.
Next I taught Development of Drama 2. We were talking about Ubu Roi by Alfred Jarry. We talked about pee, poop, shit, class warfare, Bugs Bunny, Saturday Night Live, not pooping on a date, masturbation, money, appetite.
We roared with laughter and blushed and interrupted one another.
And learned something about art.
Who knew?
And a PhD student wanted to know, did I think I might be teaching the seminar class in the fall? I answered that I'd love to, however I'm still adjunct and it's just one semester at a time for me.
When I came home, K and I went out to dinner- and it was yummy.
All in all, a nice day.
