D-day tomorrow

After years wishing I was back in college It's finally happening tomorrow. I must admit it does feel pretty surreal going back but i know it was the right descision to make. Recession was the final push I needed to do this. I have been lucky in getting 'real' jobs since graduating but I couldn't see myself  being happy to stay in those places twenty years time. Theatre is my passion and getting the opportunity to do  research  on this topic for two years hopefully more. I'm also a tad nervous as I'm venturing out of the comfort zone of making theatre and re-entering the world of academia.


Don't get me wrong I'm more then capable adapting to this newish world but after six years out of it I'm bound to be rusty.  I hope I don't 100% leave the world  of making theatre that I will always have a foot or two in proceedings. My goal/aim is to bring the practicalities of theatre making into academia. Not to disrepect any theatre studies lecturers  I have had  and who I meet in the future I'm not much of a fan of productions being dissected too academically. During college last time round I had to sit through two hours academic debate about how a theatre company had a stone wall for a keypoint  of the set for one of their production.  My answer is and still remains: The play is set in an area where you literally can't go around the bend without seeing same wall. Anyhoo wish me luck tomorrow.........
