Performance Anxiety

I managed to complete a performance despite my heart beating at 160 bpm. I’m so glad that I didn’t completely mess up the lines, just a couple; but I did it 😀

I performed ‘Then I Ran Down the Street Naked’, it’s a story with a beat that is in continual edit, mainly because of it’s length. The poem is written in three parts. Each part is about 5 minutes in length. I chopped the first part to a 3 minute segment for my performance assessment and memorised it.

I chose to do this for my performance to see how it played to an audience and as it’s based on a true story… could I be that brave?
It turns out, yes I can, and it was fun too!
