It begins...
The first meeting of Stage West's theater design apprenticeship isn't until Thursday, but I spent this morning setting up a Discord server to act as our classroom / treehouse. Our first meeting will - thanks covid! - be virtual, so we'll get to use this treehouse immediately. My fingers are crossed that this will be an easier, friendlier virtual venue than, say, Zoom. (Don't we all hate Zoom meetings by now?)
The photo above is from a Dallas Museum of Art show that I said I'd report back on... Too late now! But I will just say that museums are one of the few outings right now that are, generally, less crowded and feel safer - go mid-week or early in the day if you can. (Don't we all need to get out the house?)
BTW the architectural art exhibit "For a Dreamer of Houses" was fascinating. You can get a good idea of it HERE virtually. The neon house Rubber Pencil Devil by Alex da Corte was cool, but my favorite environment was Francisco Moreno's Chapel. A wonderful, intricate, evocative neo-Romanesque barrel-vaulted chapel - of plywood - completely covered with graphics... as if a 12th century monastery chapel got anachronistic tattoos. Some of them inked by Titian...

Anyway, get out however you safely can and see stuff and learn stuff!
