Thank god she said something!
I spent years in training and my family moved a lot so my first recital after 15 years was in a HUGE venue.
I was so extremely nervous and everything did go wrong. My costume fell apart
like days befor the event the first time I put it on. I had full time college and a job so I was sewing everynight and had little sleep. I was pure nerve when we went on stage.
It involved alot of proformers and after my bits I was to sit on stage...in the middle area...sooooo
when i fell asleep nobody noticed until everyone was off and the audiance was starting to snicker and so forth...
someone came to get me...and I awoke to an enormous sound of laughter.
Carol Burnette became a comedian after dressing in the dark for a torchlight song sooo
when the spot light pulled back to include her legs she had the black seams going up the front of her legs.
That was the beginning of one of the most remarkable talents of all times.
Stage fright is SO normal. And the fact is it is survivable. It feels scarry and then what happens is that it becomes less intimidating...when all goes well, or when all goes wrong.
Going to see the proformance is good too. It is ok to decide not now. And whatever the next oppertunity will come and it might be just as scarry but with determination facing that fear feeling makes the challenges of life less
uncomfprtable.
