Subject:  Re: [vocalist] Withdrawal from opera workshop?

harold,

maybe you are trying to get too specific about movements that make no
sense to you. whatever the reason, unlike road directions, you're not
likely to get lost onstage.
in any drama, at certain places in the drama, you have to be somewhere
interacting with someone. the movements you make are the travel from place
to place. if you understand what is going on and your role in those
activities, you will know why you have to be one place or another. if you
know the sequence of dramatic events, you'll know which order you have to be
in those places. start by getting it generally right and you'll find that
such concerns as to which leg to start walking with and what to do with your
left pinky, are not all that important.

in regard to quitting the workshop, let them be the ones to get rid of
you. they will keep you as long as you are useful to them. it would be
far better to have the reputation of a bewildered statue than to be known as
an unreliable statue.
