First performance: Friday night 7.30pm = error! After weeks of just performing to an empty audience I kind of expected the buzz of people being there would lift my energy and enthusiasm for my piece, except on Friday it did not. My piece has underlying themes of comedy, but on Friday night I recieved approximately two laughs and they were from Mrs Miller. This completely threw me, not because I assumed I would get more, but I just felt like the audience were very selfish and to be honest I felt like a fool doing my piece. After much discussion and support from the others, I have now reached my own conclusion that perhaps they didn't understand my piece. Perhaps they did and I was just an error, but nevertheless it was all made up for by the elderly women and family on the Saturday and Sunday who seemed to enjoy my piece - woo! I especially loved having Judy in the crowd who when doing my piece about my "hair up, hair down" made comment about what she thought looked best in aid of my cause to look nice at the ball. I am looking forward to these next performances and I hope the audience give us all some loving and enjoy it!
P.S: My dad didn't find it hilarious, he just has a rather loud laugh- he actually got a tad emotional over it which was suprising.
