OK, now that I have your attention thanks to my horrible title:
My question is more specific than that. I was forced (by life circumstances, ask questions if you want answers on that) to pursue a degree that is definitely non-theatre. I’m currently finishing up a senior year in Aeronautical Science (pilotage), and as I’m doing so, and my senior workload is kicking my ass, I’ve discovered that my theatrical skills are languishing.
crap.
So, I’ve run into an interesting problem. My current degree program is interfering with my ability to keep my theatrical studies (on my personal time) sharp and current, and I’m starting to feel like I’m taking a few steps backwards. I have a little free time that I’ve wrangled into every week with careful time management, but I’m unable to pick up gigs in my small town since they’re always during classes or on study days... or extremely late at night when I need sleep to study the next day.
For all the experts, and those educational peeps out there, how do you recommend I stay sharp? Combination of unrelated degree work + lack of work + small town is really cramping my efforts.
I realize that I might be asking either 1) personal question that I only I can answer, or 2) a question that shall earn me some righteous hand-slaps from the wiser of you, but hey, nothing ventured nothing gained.
Thanks!
P.S. Yes, I’m back. Summer studies kicked my ass and it appears fall and spring have taken sequential numbers to do so, as well. Also, hi @gafftaper. Just sayin’ long time no see.
