The thing is, I've been kinda busy. Actually, really busy.
At the beginning of 2013, I set myself a number of goals. One of them involved increasing my participation in quality, challenging musical productions. It's been wonderful to actually accomplish that: with Assassins, Spamalot, Brief Encounters and A...My Name is Alice. But, I'm tired. Between rehearsals, shows, one-off concerts and performances, learning how to play ukulele and accordion in record time, my passion is beginning to feel like...well, work. And some of the other goals I had set for myself, with regards to my health, my professional growth, my relationships with friends and family, have suffered as a result of this focus on performance.
So, in the name of balance, it's time for a break. At least until the end of the year. I want to see how it feels when I have to choose what I do in the evening, rather than simply consulting my rehearsal schedule to see where I have to be, and when. To read a book. Take a dance class. Cook a meal. Have tea with a friend. Pet my cat. Re-align some of my priorities.
So, watch this space. Hopefully I'll have some new adventures to report, soon.
