RAT brainstorming the rats

[BeSpecific@aol.com]

Anyone know anyone who might be able to sponsor/fund/grant 
resources/financial or otherwise for continuing education to an theatre 
educator/director/actor?
Okay. What's going on is

I am going to Japan to study with a Russian Director who works in conjunction 
with a professor at Kanagawa University in Tokyo, Nobuyuki Nakamoto) as well 
as a university professor (Mark Jenkins - playwright/actor/director/teacher) 
from the Professional Actors Training Program at the University of 
Washington. It is a 3 week workshop (housing/workshop $1000 - very good price 
for staying in Japan).

If you think of any names or organizations you think I should contact, please 
email me off the list at bespecific@aol.com. My background is listed in the 
faculty section at this address: freeholdtheatre.org.

I am also interested in bringing gifts to the actors/directors there (both 
Russian and Japanese) and would love any ideas you might share with me, no 
matter how wacky.
