Existence as a performer is an exhilarating blend of passion, compassion, discipline and innovation. Every moment states us as a performer, whether outside or at our homes. Every moment is the chance to showcase our personalities. From early morning routines designed to nurture the mind and body, to long hours of rehearsals where passion and precisions merge, every moment is dedicated to honing one’s craft. A stage is not just a physical platform; it is a realm of transformation and expression. The stage holds an aura of magic, where emotions are amplified, stories come to life, and performers shed their everyday identities to embody characters, ideas, or music. From being a stage phobic to a confident performer has lasted a massive impact on my journey, it began with moving on stage with racing hearts beats, jittering hands and shivering body. Yet, always had that desire to share the art and thoughts. With one, practice and support, the stage which was a fear of mine is now a place for me to express. The ambition and courage to face the audience is sometimes the back point and sometimes the confidence. Not only the stage, but every place is a stage to excel ourselves whether a sports ground or interacting with different people.

The moment stepping on the stage is electric. The bustle of audience, the dimming lights, the wave of exhilaration creates an unforgettable atmosphere. Each note, line, or movement is a bridge connecting us, a shared moment of vulnerability and connection. When the curtain falls, the applause is both humbling and thrilling. As the day winds down, I reflect on the performance, nothing what went well and what I could improve on. Every performance gives me a lesson with some drawbacks and some good points about it. As the performance unfolds, everything else fades away. It’s just the art, and the audience. This addition builds a vivid picture of the mental and emotional experience leading up to the performance, adding richness to the narrative. A day in the life of a performer is more than a routine- it’s a testament to the love for the craft, the resilience to overcome challenges, and the joy of connecting with others through art. Every day on this path reaffirms why I chose it, and every moment on stage feels like coming home.
