July 1st at TSI was mostly just orientation and icebreaking, but July 2nd we had an amazing lecture by the former director of the Library, who established the education department, Gail Pastor. She used digital images from the Folger's collection to talk about Shylock, Othello, and what signifies 'other' in the two Venetian plays. Then we went on to a performance exercise, which was really fun and then an acting/trust exercise, for which we used the actual stage of the Folger, that was surprisingly hard. After pizza we took an evening tour of the capitol, the highlights of which were the Roosevelt Memorial and the Martin Luther King Memorial, for me, at least. Wooot! I'll post a few pictures, just so you know I'm in DC.
