Introspection post performance



Each playback actor should do some homework after a performance ::
Written in 2018

How could I have made that story more subtle/more loud
How could I have made it fast/slow
How could I make it more meaningful to teller
Which part did I make it a circus
Where could I have hummed or sang a song
Where should I have danced
Where could I have used fabric
What Ninja roles was needed
Where should I have spoken
Where should I have just kept silence
When did I make the other actor look good
What was a metaphor that would have nailed it
When did I play into the applause
Why was the teller moved to tears
Why was it cathartic after all
What was the thread 
What was the narrative reticulation
And the list goes on....

Then again the question arises, do we need to over analyze it so much 

Yet

Performing with Actors Collective in Sajeeva Space, Vijayanagar
29 June 2019
Audience were reluctant, yet
turned up with happy faces
Actors who gallop around
Adjusted to small spaces

Tellers who felt short, yet
Lived stories which stood tall
Tellers who felt weak, yet
Chose to take the difficult call

People broken, yet
inspired to live
People shaken, yet
but ever ready to give

Tears swelling, yet
Gratitude all around
Old Vijayanagar, yet
breaking new ground

Dynamic and Organic
Team did perform
Laughter and Tears
Will "Sajeeva" be our norm
