I finally felt a moment of relief and relaxation....
Today I had a meeting with my Solo Performance professor because after a week of writer's block and my sheer inability to concentrate and focus on one task for more than 5 minutes at a time, I was feeling extremely discouraged and worried. This feeling was even more amplified after I watched five of my friends do their performance previews today, all of which said were still in a "rough" stage. HOWEVER, contrary to their claims, each of their performances were so great. Sheer terror. I have nothing solid!! I only have ideas and thoughts and pieces and clips but nothing that anyone could ever call a performance piece. What I have now lacks eloquence of wording, clear comic relief or an accurate depiction of the stories that I want to tell. There is so much work that needs to be done. But after class I met with Rhonda and she helped sweep away some of my intense worries. She reassured me that it was alright to not have everything together and that I could just perform a few key scenes at preview and bring along whatever photos/video I can get, and read a few of the posts that I wrote in my livejournal after it happened, etc. So basically, it doesn't have to be really put together. I can just explain where I'm going with the piece. A huge burden has been lifted off my shoulders. Now I'm going to go on and live out the rest of this day with peace in my mind and confidence in my ability to get this done, and everything in general that I need to get done. With God on my side who can stand against me?
