This seems appropriate this morning. Woke up feeling just a bit bummed out. Interviewed for a costume design job on a play but didn’t get the job. The whole thing seemed very serendipitous. For one thing, the ad wasn’t placed in the correct place online so I saw it only by chance. Turns out, the play is based on my favorite author of all time - - Octavia Butler. What’s more, it’s eerily similar to the play I just did. It’s small and doesn’t use full costumes, just elements that represent the costumes. Plus, it takes place in the future, which totally falls into the genre(s) I adore.
It even has military costumes, which I just did. I think the director didn’t pick me because I don’t have a degree in CD. The director went to NYU and I have a hunch a former student from their CD department got the gig.
Plays are tricky like that. A CD degree is almost crucial. Hmmm, now that I’ve started sewing again, I really need to sew my ass off so that I can literally make anything.
Sadly, I knew this when I graduated several years ago but never had the time or money to either take classes or invest in the right equipment.
Oh the joy of poverty…
