First LC3 performance

LC3 is the performing company of the London Contemporary Dance School of which i do feel privileged to be a part of.


Today for me really was a learning experience, we went to a college in Hackney to perform for a kind of audience ive never performed for before. Well i don't really want to be derogatory to the college, but the kids in the audience wouldn't stop talking, the men were hooting at times when they weren't required to and the girls were passing comments as if they were sitting at Lunch.
I ofcourse got distracted, it felt hard to coordinate my mind and body and the soul went fishing. i really do like to feel what i do, and it was so hard to connect. It didnt take me long to judge the audience and spoil my performance.

Anyway the show ended and we had a question answer session, and i was really surprised to see how interested the students were to know more about us. Although the questions were silly! but atleast they took interest. One of them even read my name out of the programme sheet to ask me a question.
I felt so horrible after that. It made me realise no matter what, never loose your focus. It needs to be so strong it can get through anything! Coz at the end of the day in a 100% audience (wherever that might be) there will be a 20% who are genuinely interested in what you do, and you never know, you might be inspiring them..
