I've rarely shared much from the personal files, preferring to keep the focus on the work rather than its creator. But the time feels right to open the door a bit more. Here's a lesson I learned recently about my self-generated anxiety as an introvert in that most extroverted of social settings: The PARTY. Trying to mingle in a crowd of professional colleagues whom you don't know can feel a torture. I'm happy to say I think I found a way to turn that around.
I understand that, Kevin. I've "created" an outgoing personality that serves me well, though it often exhausts me. I remember you and your extraordinary work from Yaddo, where we lived in the same house/studio. I keep meaning to get to a performance but it seems I am always on the road when you're performing in NYC. But one day, and hopefully soon.
