CONCEPT & MATERIALS

“THE MINUTES ARE PASSING QUICKLY AS YOU STAND IN THE WING WAITING FOR YOUR COUNT TO ARRIVE. EVERYTHING YOU HAVE WORKED SO HARD FOR IS FINALLY EMERGING AND YOUR HANDS ARE PERSPIRING FROM THE NERVES YOU ENDURE. THE CHEERS OF THE AUDIENCE BECOME DISTANT AS YOU PREPARE YOURSELF FOR THE BRIGHT LIGHTS AND THE SHADOWS OF THE CRITICS. THE TIME HAS COME AND YOUR PASSION BEGINS TO FLOURISH WITH THE MUSIC.”
