Sunday Gift
To continue with our Sunday theme of performance hints, comes
this one: Remember that each performance
should be viewed as a gift you are giving to the audience. Last week I talked about how the audience
wants to love you, so now think about how wonderful it is to give something to
someone who loves you.
In other words, the performance is less about you and more about them. You are sharing your
gifts, your talents, and all your preparation as a gift to the people sitting in
the theater. This can also help take the
pressure off, and allows for a more open and relaxed presentation.
Performing, in my
opinion, is always about giving. And it is usually easy to tell (or sense) when
any performer, in any field, is doing it only for their own gratification.
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:
Secret #32:
“Think of every performance as a gift to the audience.”

“Only by giving are you able to receive more than you
already have.”
