We've all heard the old adages, "If it at first you don't succeed, try, try again!", "When you fall off the horse, you have to get back on again!" These are true but many people never even get that far when it comes to theatrical endeavours. Many of us prefer to just stand in the wings and comment on other people's attempts at greatness.
We sit on our sofas and easy chairs telling all of our friends, in glowing theatrical terminology, what's wrong with the latest Hollywood blockbuster, or Emmy award winning TV show! The problem with that is, they are getting paid, while we sit and complain about how much better we could do it! Not only that, but their ideas are out there, effecting the world!
Now most of us will never reach that level, but one thing is sure, you will not get 100% of the parts you don't audition for! No one will ever see any of the plays, screenplays, or novels you don't write! No one will ever hear the concert you don't perform! Many of us are great at giving lip service to the concept of being creative, but we sit waiting for someone to give us permission, waiting to be "discovered"!
So, what can you do today to make a contribution to the creative melting pot? How can you express an idea that is important to you? What are you willing to give up or suffer to make yourself heard? Get up, get out and try!
