Exhausted, but still plugging along. Today we went to seminars and also performed our Cold Read scripts. We got the scripts a couple hours beforehand and performed them in a closed set before a panel of judges. There was a reader for the other part of the dialog and it was fun! It's a little awkward when you do your skit and get no feedback or chuckles or applause. It's all business and they're just "gathering information" and scoring your performance which will be tallied and determined later who "wins" or comes in 2nd, 3rd or 4th place. (We're all winners in my opinion.)
Tonight all the IMTA participants went on a chartered cruise on the Hudson where we could see Manhattan and New Jersey from the water. It was Di beautiful! We cruised by the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. I was a little emotional seeing that. And I was chuckling to myself because we were on a sort of "party cruise" with a DJ playing dance music and there are mostly "kids", including young model type teenagers, male and female. I was imagining what our forefathers had in mind when they came here for a better life for their descendants and checked in at Ellis Island. What would they think of this silly party cruise full of aspiring models and actors and our frivolous lifestyles. Sigh. Maybe they would get a kick out of this life? Hmmm...
