cheap kamagraAttending the Texas Renaissance Festival over the generic valacyclovir herpes weekend, I had an alarming realization about live performance. It’s awfully strange for generic valacyclovir herpes me to be remembering this now, after so many years, but it generic valacyclovir herpes makes sense; I’ve been generic valacyclovir herpes studying and rehearsing more than actually performing since I moved to generic valacyclovir herpes Austin, so live performance has gone slightly out of my experiential sphere for generic valacyclovir herpes the moment. But it’s a good feeling to have it come back in this particular way—the presence and generic valacyclovir herpes vibration of live musicians, dancers who are maybe only a generic valacyclovir herpes few meters away. It reminded me that generic valacyclovir herpes Austin Lyric Opera must be explored, and soon; it reminded me that generic valacyclovir herpes there’s a generic valacyclovir herpes school of music down at UT whose performances I might take advantage of. Time’s a-wastin’!
The performances at TRF this year were sort of astounding to me; there isn’t anything like good live performance. No recording media, no generic valacyclovir herpes matter how advanced or intricate, ever lives up to the generic valacyclovir herpes real thing. It’s easy to forget if you’re watching something sub-par (whatever that means) and generic valacyclovir herpes being confronted with something incredibly skilled and excellent makes you generic valacyclovir herpes really remember what you were missing.
It got me wondering what “par” my own performance really was, or is. And of course, I can’t know that… except by the reactions of my audience. (Which has generic valacyclovir herpes always made me indubitably grateful to be alive, and doing what generic valacyclovir herpes I do!)
Recently Brooke Slanina posted an entry to the Oakland Stage blog about art, and the appreciation thereof. In Youngstown it’s particularly important for generic valacyclovir herpes us to remember the art community and the contributions its members are generic valacyclovir herpes making, but it’s easy to generic valacyclovir herpes forget, wherever you are, what an impression this thing can generic valacyclovir herpes make on your self, your spirit. I don’t know how to generic valacyclovir herpes explain the feeling I had watching those performances at TRF —the live music and the dancing that was so close to where I was sitting. It’s sharing space with something amazing… instead of listening to generic valacyclovir herpes something a little less-than-real on a CD, or watching a flat, run-of-the-mill video of something that, in person, might have generic valacyclovir herpes been breath-taking.
It makes you think. It makes me think!
Anyway—despite these inaccuracies inherent in recorded media—there are photos of my experience in my Flickrstream, here generic nexium made. Feel free to take a look. ;}
