Just a quick introductory post before I fly halfway around the world. I'll be in Russia from Sept. 22 - Dec. 19, and the work I do there will fulfill the final set of requirements for my MFA program. I plan to update this blog once a week with stories and pictures documenting my experience. Studying with a group of 30 other students from around the world, I'll be in Moscow for the majority of the time, staying in the dorms at the Moscow Art Theater School (the theater was founded in 1898 by Konstantin Stanislavski and Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko, and the school was founded 45 years later). I'll also travel to St. Petersburg for 4 days. At the theater school, we'll study Acting, Voice, Movement (including ballet and biomechanics), language, and more. We'll also see Russian theater, opera, and museums as a group.

ReplyDeleteJenny! How was the flight? I am terrified for ours to Heathrow in (can you believe it) LESS than two weeks. Your pictures are already amazing and I am so happy you are rocking all over the place. We love you and miss you!
