From: "David Youngdahl" <daveyoungdahl-AT-earthlink.net> Subject: PUPT: puppetry or money Date: Thu, 7 Aug 2003 01:00:21 -0400 so-- how do I get from the restaurant to the bridge FULL TIME? in practical terms? I can't sink $10,000 into the next production (at $400 a show that would be 25 shows before I begin to break even) Mrs. Youngdahl is going to get AWFULLY HUNGRY! There should be SOMEthing I can do to build toward that. Liz Evans says "we have started producing some shows that we originally did not plan to produce, but we are finding ways to present them in a new way" I truly appreciate that but, it's a little vague. What does it really take. What is obvious to you might be a revelation to me. (no snide remarks please) WHAT has already worked BEST? THAT's the kind of practical nuts and bolts that I wish I knew. Endowments for the Arts are NOT increasing, so-- I would like to read "How To Really Make A Living As A Marionettist" Do you have that one in stock, Mr. DaSilva? I'm not kidding. I'm asking for the BEST most PRACTICAL and CONCRETE idea that you (all you-all) have found that has ACTUALLY produced the best for you. What are the stepping stones? can you share THAT? dave PS initial posting should have read "not done anything SUSTAINABLE" or something like that. the intent was to generate LIGHT as opposed to HEAT. pardon. --- Personal replies to: "David Youngdahl" <daveyoungdahl-AT-earthlink.net> --- List replies to: puptcrit-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu --- Admin commands to: majordomo-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu --- Archives at: http://lists.village.virginia.edu/~spoons
