I have really enjoyed my regular meetings with Pat this spring—it's been wonderful to dive so deeply into Tomas' poetry, in a way that we are only now ready to do. There is an incredible amount of material that has been generated through development workshops and meetings since we began work in earnest in January 2006...the sheer amount, richness, and diversity of material has been both incredibly inspiring and also a bit daunting. This time in the process is an exciting one...we have been swimming around in this ocean of abstract (but always compelling) material for nearly three years now, while dodging logistical and financial obstacles of all kinds, and finally....strong structural shapes, rich characters, and beautiful, complex inter-relationships are beginning to emerge from the mists.
I can't wait to see where we'll go from here. Thanks everyone, for your creativity, enthusiasm, and dedication.
Scores will go out in the first days of May. See you all in Sweden!
