I haven't said...Thank you for the words of wisdom. I haven't said anything to console her, frankly I am at a loss for words because it was everything to her. I just listen. You know what a charmed life she leads, so I have been just hanging back and seeing how she deals with it on her own. She does have intensity, she gets very attached to people and ideas and no one can shake her while she is in that kind of state. I have found that if I give her space, she usually comes out of the emotional zone in a few days.Michelle Wendt of SRI & ETTChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05189274979179942113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5290596346221036971.post-48036843421015120162009-01-02T10:40:00.000-05:002009-01-02T10:40:00.000-05:00You can tell her that theaters folding and persona...You can tell her that theaters folding and personal stuff having a huge impact on a performing company is a very common occurance in pro theater and how she handles this will be able to tell her alot about whether she wants to do this as a grown-up.<BR/><BR/>You can also tell her how lucky she is to have been able to train with a good director and how well she applies those lessons when working with bad directors in the future will help keep that company alive. Actors always have an oral history they share when they go to new performing spaces ( Jeremy Piven is really going to regret the way he quit because of that) .<BR/><BR/>I don't recommend soft coating loss for a kid in theater- it doesn't help them at all later. Actors need to feel things intensely but they also need to get over those intense feelings quickly or they'll destroy themselves. Let her handle it badly for maybe three days and then it should be "on with the next show." <BR/><BR/>You think this is bad - you're going to be a very unhappy parent if she starts cold auditioning. Actors need to stay both very open and very thick skinned. That's why so many of them are insane : )<BR/><BR/>Love your insane friend,<BR/>DrinneDrinnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08836936987746258926noreply@blogger.com
