Oh gosh!! I can’t write it in words, what I felt when I first time placed my foot on stage. Uumhh..!!
It’s not like I never been to stage before, but being in a dance group is different than performing an act on stage, where people will listen to your voice. With no mics around you have to deliver your dialogues with high pitch still maintaining a soft tone is a tuff job to do, but this was the day for which I spent last month’s every evening rehearsing just to hear one applause by the audience while performing.The best appreciation an artist could get and thankfully for my first act show I got some. It gives a tremendous satisfaction when you hear people laughing and clapping after your dialogues ensuring you that they are actually enjoying your piece of work.
Very same morning when I reached SRC for our dress rehearsal one of my co-actor took me to the stage, while the time all light work were going on only a spot light was flashed on stage. I occupied the space under the spot light an rolled my eyes over each an every corner of the auditorium, it instantly gave a spread to my face, and then I closed my eyes and got an illusion of people clapping loud n loud people shouting ‘great show’ and again clapping I could actually hear the sound, I could feel the energy but that was not a false dream when I opened my eyes I knew the next few hours would change me I will happier person, I knew the dream I saw, standing there on stage with the spot light on me, that my dream will turn to be real very soon. At 4 pm we started our dress rehearsal it was day's first too, it stretched by 6.15 pm and just before my scene that I needed to rehearse the doors were opened and audience started pouring to the auditorium and then the curtains were fetched down and I didn’t actually got a chance to check my pitch. The show was just about to start in next 10 minutes. I came into the wings area and saw Guru jee performing rituals before the show the curtains were down, when I saw towards my left, it was Manoj sir with folded knees praying for a good show. And then it was me to pray next, to ask God to give me the power, determination and energy to do my job, I was nervous because I didn’t got any dress rehearsal, I didn’t knew how my voice is going to sound like. Just one day before the show I met to an accident while on my way to home, where an auto hit me, and my right leg got injured, I got deep scars bleeding and most fatal was the pain I was not able to walk properly. With bandaged wrapped around I was still enthusiased about my job. They were just the hurdles that I needed to pass from to achieve my dream. And then it was the final time.
6.35pm the show started, light where on, the auditorium was filled with audience, and then the show started while running back stage I didn’t felt any pain in my leg I don’t know what actually kept me going it was just the feeling of “ON STAGE”. My scene was the second last scene where I have to shout out loud in pain. When the stage got dark and I was taking position I don’t know what happened to me, I was not me! I was not at all thinking about my family who were there in the audience, not about the people whom I invited, not about the audience reaction, not about what any of my co-actors. I was just the lady in that yellow saree, wearing glass bangle, vermillion and a bindi as a rural women would dress like. During my scene I heard claps and laughter and when it ended I gone to the back stage and my co-star appreciated me. Oh! I came to know I did it. And when the show ended all artists were asked to join the stage. After honoring Guru jee, Tarun Thiyam jee was asked to give flowers to the artist and after Guru jee introduced every artist individually, when my named was called oh claps!! and I was so satisfied.
And when I asked Guru jee how was the show he said ‘achcha kaam kiya’ the best compliment I got. And than Bharti sir too like it so what else I can ask for.
I AM HAPPY VERY HAPPY..
