What Blue is Doing in Hyderabad

I was just thinking today, when I put up the last post about directing and children's literature, that I hadn't yet mentioned on this blog what I was going to do in Hyderabad.

I suppose I could make you guess. It would be interesting to see what kind of responses came up.

But the truth is that I am going to Hyderabad to direct an adaptation of Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass with students at a location which I am going to piquantly leave unnamed for now.

I'll be spending four months there, guest directing the project. We're even working on translating the piece into Telugu and possibly touring it to local schools.

This combines all of my favorite things -- theatre, teaching, literature, writing (I had the privilege of creating the adaptation, and I can blog about that process if you would like, as it was more fun than can be described), linguistics/translations, and working with children.

So now you know, and we can all be excited together until I get to go. ^__^
