So it’s been a while, and these past two weeks have been pretty insane. I have officially become the “Slow Grad Student” (search for that term on the internet, find that article, and read it), which has really helped me maintain my sanity in crazy times. BUT I have a lot of creative updates, including some thoughts on what it means to be a director, why I feel I need to write to the times, and how I feel about the political climate as well as using creativity and art as a mode of resistance.
