The only definition of you that matters is how you choose to define yourself. Anyone else’s definition is a pale imitation of the truth.

Love the collaborative nature of this! All the tools needed in a big circle…implying that they all work together equally to make the art happen!

Hogwarts Houses as Stage Managers

Gryffindor: “You need that moved, I can move that.” Always down for drinks after the show. Fully believe in “the show must go on.” Memorizes the songs and calls from memory. Drinks a red eye or red bull. Loves rehearsals and tech but running the show is boring. Follows the spirit of the Equity handbook. Instagrams of group photos. Reports bootleggers to house management and the producer. Happy to work anywhere.

Hufflepuff: Loves every part of the process. Will comfort crying actors. Puts the actors needs first. Actually gives opening night gifts. Not always a great team leader but a great team member. Doesn’t drink coffee but can make it. Loves running the show. Calls Equity to clarify everything. Instagrams of props. Kindly asks people not to bootleg. Prefers to work regionally or theatre for a young audience.

Ravenclaw: Knows every line in the play. Prettiest paperwork you’ve ever seen. Calls from the score. Drinks all the coffee. Takes mentoring interns and PAs to heart. Loves the dramaturgical aspect of rehearsals. Loves rehearsals for new plays. Follows the letter of the law of the Equity rule book. Instagrams of their book. Reports bootlegs to the producer every time they see one. Works where new plays are being produced.

Slytherin: Tries to keep a neutral face because of actors. Puts the shows needs first. Great team leader, not always a good team player. Drinks coffee but wishes it were whiskey. Loves the whole process as long as they’re in charge. Has the Equity rule book but hasn’t looked at it in a while. Instagrams of coffee and paperwork. Reports bootlegs to the producer and also goes on rants about why they’re wrong. Will work anywhere that will help further their career.

On Tea.

I always enjoy a good cup of tea. Part of that is because I have a low caffeine tolerance. I can’t drink a lot of coffee, so in the morning I drink tea.

Some people may belittle tea as nothing more than hot leaf juice, but to me it’s an experience. The experience of burning off taste buds when you drink it too soon. The experience of holding the hot mug in your hands on a cold morning, the aromatic steam wafting up into your nose. The experience of total relaxation when you take that first, perfectly steeped, perfectly temperatured sip. This morning ritual never fails to wash away any residual stress. That’s the tangible experience.

With a good tea, there is a transcendent experience, too. When I drink a good cup of sencha, my imagination drifts to a quiet Japanese garden with a trickling creek and the gentle strumming of a shamisen in the distance. When I drink a strong cuppa Earl Grey, I like to imagine I’m sitting down to tea with the Earl of Grantham, wearing a beautiful Edwardian gown and speaking in an ever so proper British accent. When I sip my warm rooibos swirled with milk and sugar, I dream of the South African savanna from which it came, its wide kingdom cloaked in sunlight.

Of course, the tea can’t literally transport me to these places. Instead, it offers me a little taste of exploration to smile about in the morning.

Greatness cannot be bought. However, it can be rented. Your payment is the work you put in; it is due every single day.

You come up with all of these scenarios in your head and they drive you mad. But the truth is they’re all an extension of the same thing: you want someone and they don’t want you back.

Fun fact: According to Greek legend there was a famous prostitute who managed to avoid a death sentence by showing the judges her boobs and arguing that it would be a crime against the Gods to destroy something so beautiful. 

Before you ask, yes there are paintings of this. And yes, they’re amazing.

The gay one

[suzie-guru]

No, but this is one of my absolute favorite bits of history! 

The courtesan named was named Phryne and she was indeed a renowned beauty, and was indeed was put on trial for a capital crime. And yes, the sum of her defense consisted of her stripping in court (helped by her lover/defendant) and asking the jury (all males) if they were prepared to destroy this. 

But this is actually a very interesting case of Values Dissonance - the capital crime she was accused of was blasphemy. In Ancient Greek society, exceptional beauty was a sign of favor from the gods, and they took the idea that beauty indicated goodness with great seriousness. They even called their nobles Kaloi k'Agathoi, “the Beautiful and the Good.” 

So by showing off her great physical beauty, Phryne was being very clever indeed, her argument essentially being “How could I possibly commit blasphemy if the gods have given me this body?“ 

God, I adore history.
