Accidentally On Purpose

Look what I found! Tourist for a moment, just so I could get the pic!

So, I've worked downtown (on and off) for nearly 18 months now and, despite my dad really wanting to see it when he was here last year, I've never seen the Wall Street Bull before today. Since I was coming to FiDi from the LES, I took the J and got a little turned around getting out of the underground, so in re-calibrating and getting back to Rector Street, I managed to wander past the infamous Bull. Totally accidental, but I like it. Exploring NY, even neighborhoods I know pretty well, and finding new attractions is one of the coolest things about this giant, overwhelming city. Gotta love it. And don't worry, dad, when you come in May, I can find it again for you...

And, because I like to over-schedule myself, this was probably the last opportunity I'll have for a little downtime until Sunday. I thought I'd have a pretty relaxing yoga class-filled morning tomorrow, but it looks like I'm headed into a 10am audition instead... Not complaining, just adjusting. It's for a company that hosts dance and music events for kids throughout NY and it pays pretty well. The music classes/events happen 6-days a week, so I don't know how many I'd need to participate in, but it might be a nice way to work in a more theatre-y field and still fit with my daytime rehearsals, and yoga classes. Hoping that the yoga teacher part of my resume will help prove to them that I can teach and lead without having specific experience teaching kids.

Right after the audition I'm gonna head to rehearsal, the first one (for me) since the whole losing the space, and falling out with the old company fiasco, so we'll see how that goes. Oh, also since we recast the girl playing Lavinia... I don't even know who took over for her or how it the cast shifted to fill in for a missing member. I guess we're a cast of 12 now. We also have to be off-book for the first half of the show tomorrow, which is no problem for me, since I have a grand total of 7 lines before intermission. The second half is where I talk. Not a lot, but more. I'm IN a lot of scenes, but I don't necessarily speak in them. And I don't get to fight. But I get a cool monologue (trying to convince myself it's still cool...)

Friday I have my Oklahoma audition in midtown at 1030 in the morning and then an audition for a short film at noon in BK, possibly heading back to midtown from 3-5 to do a dance callback if they wanna see me try to dance... Otherwise, Friday is Dani time! And well-earned Dani-time, at that! YES! We might try to see a show or something or else just hangout and catch up. It's been too long...

Saturday I'm taking that Stretch Therapy class and then maybe going to an audition or just enjoying spring outside with a friend. We'll see if the auditors get back to me...

And no plans on Sunday. Glorious no plan Sunday! It will be filled with HoC and food and some yoga and relaxing. Looking forward to that right about now...
