Today's the day. It's showtime. Finally/Already? After going through the great depression, I'm feeling confident. This is our time to shine, be in the spotlight. We've worked hard for this and this is where it all adds up to. This is the culmination point, this night right here. This has given me a lot, and tonight. It's payday again. Probably the final payday of this production. Because when it comes to diplomas, opening night is final night. One show, one shot.
On the other hand, I feel that art, dance, theater shouldn't be about that one culmination point. Art is never ready, the work, the progress, the practice, the performances. You (try to/should) give everything every single time. Whether it's doing pliés in class or reading lines or doing impro or singing for a crowd. It's all everything.
So is this it, really? Everything comes to an end, and maybe this has come to its end. But no one is throwing a farewell party, there's no funeral in sight. We've had a good share of what we've done, and today we can give the audience a chance to find something in what we've done, too.
My motivation greatly consists of
1) Me. I do this for me, for myself. I live off this stuff. Hint: I'm writing this obnoxiously egocentric buffed-up blog.
2) Working together on this with my closest friend has been great to say the least. 'Nuff said.
3) Giving the audience something. Anything. Be it frustration, nausea, distress, tears, laughter, sympathy, admiration, new thoughts. Anything. To be able to touch someone with something you love to do? That would just be the coolest thing in the world.
Wish me luck. Although I'm fine the way I am. This is great.
