NEA TCG 2

Once again, not a terrific interview. Who knows? Maybe it worked out....The panel seemed to be in a food coma from the get-go: they had just had lunch.

On the panel
Bob Moss, Syracuse Stage
Emilya Cachapero - TCG
Edris Cooper-Anifowoshe - Freelance Director
Donna Daroch - Actor's Express
Tony Garcia - Su Teatro, Denver
Frank Maugeri - Redmoon Theater, Chicago
Randy Reinholz - Native Voices at the Autry, Chula Vista, CA

I felt out of my element from the beginning. I started by pitching my proposal. And it all went fine. Then I showed my portfolio and they just seemed to be sleeping. There were a total of four questions, all innocuous - and then it was over. Bob never asked a question.

They either really liked me and didn't have to ask a thing...or, they just weren't into me. And that was that.

I will either be a finalist and not a winner, or a winner. Either way, it's out of my hands.

Someone felt that I was energized - which I guess is a good thing. Was I that hyper? That in touch with what I want? Maybe so...
