I don't know how they think they'll survive. I've been performing on stage for almost 19 years now...for as long as I can remember (and more) and never has it been that everyone loves what you've done on stage.
Man more often than not its about how you LOOKED in what you wore, or basically your 'prettiness' instead of the act. Which SUCKS...let's be very honest it sucks MAX. But you don't go ahead and take the mic after the act to call out the dandy audience with a tongue that is set for ruin. You don't. You walk away, take the feedback and go over your performance 9384 times to see where did you lack (if you did and if its not about the crowd demeaning you).
ALL the people here who have performed or have been related to art would agree with me here.
Definitely Ritu, I belong to a relatively smaller town than my college one, when I started participating in debates, speeches and dance there were no so many people to mock me, said things like small town people can't speak better English than them let alone debating. But when I choose this stage life, I had myself chosen a life with praises as well as mocking, I never had the right to come on the stage and tell everyone to sympathize with me because of all this, I shut them up with my skills, in the second year itself I was choosen as the only second year student to be the vice president of literary club and in third year became Joint secretary of my college.
One of my batchmate is a superb classical dancer, have won many awards in the field, but still even now when she dances the audience shouts hippo only because she is quite overweight but never for once I've seen her making a deal out of it, she says as a performer she is already prepared for these shits
Performance speaks 1000× more than mere word war and begging sympathy
