Re: First performance Posted by jomama on Oct 02, 2010
@gompie - the difference in ages didn't matter at all. I tried to interact with the girls as much as possible and personalize the program. They were all so intent on the puppets and what they were saying that I think they forgot they weren't real. My husband said that I had captured their attention right from the start and I must say that they were a great audience. The only adult in the audience was my husband, the other adults were setting things up to serve the "Tea" and there was not one behavior issue. YEA!
@LJ - Yep, the hard part from now will be to actually have a routine with my vent figure to perform. I had a script worked out and when I set Lacy on my stand I saw a piece of lint on her nose that looked like a cookie crumb and my entire script went out the window. I did an impromptu thing about obedience that actually was a better fit for this group of girls than my original script would have been.
I am much more comfortable with improv but I know I need to work on the scripted thing. I don't have a problem with writing the script, just performing the script.
I too tend to focus on what I do wrong rather than right. I need to look at both, keep the good and work on the things that didn't work so well.
