Performance

I performed yesterday at some charity show, it was nervous, but exciting, I enjoyed myself and was touched at the crowd, the stage. Many people left after seeing their children perform, after all most spectators were the family of some young performers. We were the only group that belonged to a formal dance company. Some groups sang, some danced.

 

Albeit their stunts and perfect dance moves, their faces were devoid of emotion (maybe because they were nervous). Makes it hard to watch because I've seen dances that were beautiful because of the emotion that the dancers had for the performances. I had wished that our performance could have been longer (we performed an abridged version of the dance as there were too many groups performing), I loved the dance moves but there was little room for plot development.

 

I was happy that we were the last group to perform, perhaps they thought we were one of the best groups, however that also meant that there was no time for stage blocking so we went through the item once and performed afterwards.

 

It was so touching I almost cried. Though we also made little mistakes as we were too nervous. So happy to see that the formations looked nice even though there was no blocking for us, and especially for me because I am aware that I don't really have spatial awareness.

 

I hope to have more chances to perform in formal events like these, for the experience of being in stage/to be a better performer/for exposure.
