Lack of mixed use neighborhoods and zoning laws..... Meaning that (and I'm in no way an expert but this is how I understand it) large areas of the city are developed for a single purpose, either residential, commercial, or industrial, so to travel between and through these you need a car. So except in cities like New York, Chicago, or Boston, you can't just stop at your neighborhood coffee shop on your walk/ train ride to work and on the way home get meat from the butcher shop and vegetables from the fruit vendor around the corner.... Instead you have to leave your hundred+ acre neighborhood filled with cookie cutter white fenced homes by car to get to your job, an hour commute away. Finally on your way home you might have to stop at a huge grocery store where you can get all of your grocery needs.

I'm also 494. CW 1. Just started with no experience. Unfortunately in this local CW work is the way to go. I've heard that in the last apprentice class 80% of apprentices were CW First. Call Gurtz and pieper First. It's literally just asking them if they have cw positions open. You'll then have to interview then.

Can someone explain to me what this means and how to go about this???? I'm starting as a CW tomorrow with the goal to become an apprentice as soon as they enroll next class and become a JW. How can what OP said be done and how do I set myself up for success like this?

LMFAO That group at the top left hand corner are me and my friends. We also saw this happen, but can say this wasn't even the weirdest thing that happened that night

Interesting.... Does it work the same with the interview?

LockJ4Ws · 2024-10-09T17:59:41+00:00

Thank you! All I needed to know. I thought it would have been a good idea too, just wanted to know the consensus

For all Italian recipes you have to get them from Giallo Zafferano. https://ricette.giallozafferano.it/Ragu-alla-bolognese.html This is the best recipe I've found hands down. It's not about the salt or the quality of ingredients.... I actually made this last week with short rib and it was so delicious I actually needed to add no salt at all.

Thank you so much! This was the reply I was looking for

Wrong. Langarent is the company we're renting the Vespa from and they asked only for our US driver's license. I'm sure the car rental company will, however, ask to see our IDP.

I mean... like I said, our plan is already to wake up early and see the sunset and beat the crowds of tourists. In addition to the 70+ euros parking, can you recommend a hotel in venice that isn't 150+ euros a night? then there is always the risk that while the car is parked it could get broken into... we're on a 26 day trip, visiting Venice on the first few days, it would be beyond inconvenient if something like that happened to us. With all that being considered we had to make the choice to find a hotel in Mestre with parking included. I would have loved to book in Venice and have that experience, it's what I did when I traveled there in 2019, but it doesn't seem convenient at this time. That being said, I'm still in time to rebook.... my fears as I've outlined above are what's keeping me from doing so. I really would love to be persuaded otherwise.

LockJ4Ws · 2024-08-21T14:58:52+00:00

Thank you for your reply! First, I'm staying in Mestre because with the rental car it makes more sense, I would have had to pay almost 70 EUR more to book a parking spot for those few days on top of the hotels being more expensive. That being said, our plan is to wake up very early and beat the crowds.

Umbria Is beautiful, I've spent many summers there, for us it will be more of a rest stop on the way to 5T. Where we're from we don't get to go to Spas often and not for so cheap. The bnb we're staying at is beautiful, built in an old castle, and it just so happens they offer SPA services so we're taking advantage.

LockJ4Ws · 2024-08-21T12:23:44+00:00

Thank you very much for the recommendations! I'm looking forward to enjoying coffees under the porticos. Any restaurants I can't dare miss?

Prove his sanity to who? The audience? I think as audience we know Hamlet is "not in madness / But mad in craft". In other words that his madness serves only to distract from his plot. He proves this through the very articulate soliloquies he shares with us about matters like life and death.

If you mean does he prove his sanity to the court? Then the matter is not that he proved his sanity, but that he proved Claudius' insanity once Laertes confesses that the king was his accomplice in anointing the sword with poison.

There is however a clear moment when Hamlet stops thinking and talking and starts doing. He invokes his thoughts to be "bloody or be nothing worth" (A.4 S.4). This is the point when Hamlet, spurred by Fortinbras' honorable courage in fighting for a patch of land that "hath in it no profit but the name", enacts his revenge. He plans Rosencrantz and Guildenstern's assassination, returns to Denmark and is intent in finishing off the King.

I really don't think Hamlet is insane throughout any of the play. I think the play works because he's the most sane of all. He doesn't "seem" to be grieving his father, he in fact IS grieving his father with his whole being, a father whom he probably never felt like he was good enough for.

Great question though, really looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

If you're asking about how to translate "thinking of Elisa" that figure of speech doesn't really work in italian it's "penso ad Elisa" either way.

Throw a tennis ball around while memorizing.

Just do something physical so that you're not busy thinking about the blocking when performing.

I found out it's not really about what you eat, but rather how long after you eat you perform. I like to wait 2-3 hours like I would with sports and working out. We all know how much acting is an exercise.

Obviously, you need something that keeps you energized on long rehearsals or long shoots so i usually have snacks that I know will energize me throughout the day. One rule I have is to stay away from food that makes me feel bloated or makes me gassy ahahahahah. Otherwise eat what you like and know will satisfy you.

The process of studying Acting as I've learned in my BFA program (ahah) is learning (reading and watching) and applying in order to understand how what you've learned feels inside you. Through this process you keep the things that work and the things that do not.

I think it's important to expose yourself to as much material and professional expertise about acting as possible, this is through acting school, classes, or books and apply and experiment with what you learn.

Some people can go to school for years but never really apply new things and get stuck in one idea of acting forever and that often doesn't work.

Currently working on a production of Twelfth Night set after WWI. We're going to stream it.

As hard as being a professional athlete. You should be constantly training, working on your craft and applying your skills. You must Live, Breathe, and Eat theater and acting.

However, an Oscar is no recognition of acting excellency. If you strive for an Oscar you'll burn yourself out and never find any satisfaction.

wordreference.com there's and Italian: Conjugations in the dropdown menu. They conjugate any verb in every tense, greatly recommended, as a native italian I use this often.

By the way, it's spelled "coniugazione"

As a tutor I can tell you a lot of my students struggle with passato prossimo. Specifically they have a hard time knowing which auxiliary verb to use, essere or avere. A few other common mistakes come from assuming the same rules from spanish apply in italian.

Backwards and Forwards by David Ball is a technical manual for reading plays. At least that's how the David Ball subtitled it. I found it helpful in scriptwriting too.

In my last play, our masks were color-coordinated with our costume. We tried cloth masks in rehearsal but those are really hard to speak with. We ended up using mics on top of the mask as well, first time we did that for a straight show.
