I failed my driver's exam today and I feel a bit guilty for not feeling very bad about it. My driving instructor was really tense and  he was hoping hard-core that I would pass. My parents kept consoling me afterwords and I could not persuade them that I was not upset about it. I guess they decide to be supportive at all costs..
But anyway, it seems that I will get another try in two weeks and maybe I won't suck at it this time.

I am trying to put together a Viewpoints workshop in Mostar. I trained Viewpoints and Suzuki with CITI company from New York City and I enjoyed Viewpoints more than any other aspect of my actor training. I miss it tremendously and I realized only recently that I will not be able to do any Viewpoints unless people around me know how to do it too. I have not heard of any workshops in either Zagreb or Mostar so I guess all the work is up to me.
I was also very surprised to learn that online resources on Viewpoints are quite limited. The only book I managed to find on the subject was my college textbook called The Viewpoints Book: A Practical Guide to Viewpoints and Composition by Anne Bogart and Tina Landau.
This surprised me because Anne Bogart's CITI company produced a whole bunch of very successful and critically acclaimed productions using this very method. A great number of Viewpoints workshops I dug out using Google's search engine also led me to believe that this kind work was growing in popularity, so the lack of resources was even more striking.

However, I am fortunate enough to have my own resources - Viewpoints class notes, my colleagues and my former professors. I believe that they will be enough to help me get this project rolling.

I only hope that I will manage to inspire my fellow actors to pursue this kind of work in the future. I hope that they will discover the beauty of non-hierarchical work, the value of listening to the wants of their ensemble (instead of feeling pressured to constantly 'produce') and I hope that they will enjoy themselves while working with me.

Also, please wish me luck with logistical challenges I am facing at the moment because I will need it.

I added few more production photos so check them out if you have nothing else to do..:)

My degrees are useless in Croatia until they are officially validated by a special institute. Validation (along with official translations and official photocopies) is expensive and time-consuming so I have been delaying this for the entire past year. Now that I finally started the process, I feel myself going slightly insane. Bureaucracy makes me very nervous and it makes me miss the USA.
I am leaving Zagreb tonight and traveling to Mostar, where I am taking drivers exam. I cannot wait to be on the bus because riding a bus always makes me feel like I am getting somewhere.

I just spent the entire day rearranging this website, adding new sub-page with free online plays and making it more user-friendly. I hope it pays off because nobody seems to visit it except for me..
