An inspiration to do better as a performer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many people look at clothes as only that: clothing. This includes me. However, if we really take an in depth look at clothing, it is the outward demonstration of who we are on the inside. Therefore, maybe it becomes important. When we take care to reflect and plan our appearance, we prepare our audiences for the performance we deliver. When we do not take care with our material look, we cause disorientation in the preconceived notions of our show-goers. This takes away from our shows. Five simple ways we demonstrate a good presence to our audiences are with personal fashion and style, cleanliness, tidiness, fresh clothes, and knowing the fashion of our audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clothing is an integrated part of our society and we tend to\nwear things that are similar to each other. However, there is fashion to the wardrobe\nof each person. Fashion is the following of treads. Whether the treads are of\nnow or the trends of certain era in history, you declare your personality with\nthe fashion you choose to wear. “What you wear is how you present yourself\nto the world, especially today, when human contacts are so quick. Fashion is\ninstant language.” \u2014Miuccia Prada<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your individual style is something different from fashion.\nStyle is the unique way that each one of us dress and accessorize. If we take\ntime to developed our own style, our audiences have the opportunity to\nunderstand us. “Fashion is about\ndressing according to what\u2019s fashionable. Style is more about being\nyourself.” \u2014Oscar de la Renta<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another important part of presentation to your audience is cleanliness.\nBeing clean isn\u2019t only for your physical health but shows a level of \u2018put togetherness\u2019\nthat any on-looker will appreciate. It could be argued that, when playing a\ncharacter like a street rat, a level of dirt and grim brings more thoroughness to\nyour character, but cleanliness is still important. Makeup can be used to make\nyou look dirty and grimy, while being clean shows a strong level of\nprofessionalism and personal standard. \u201cCleanliness\nis the Hallmark of perfect standards and the best quality inspector is the\nconscience.\u201c\u2013 J. R. D. Tata<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next, and an equally important aspect of presentation is\nbeing tidy. Tidiness is the order within the chaos of performing. You can wear\nfifty different pieces of jewelry and accessories and still be so tidy that it\nall fits and you look organized. On the other hand, when we are not tidy, even\none single piece of accessory or jewelry can be a distraction. That distraction\ncan be so bad that some people may not even remember your performance, but remember\ntrying to figure out your outfit. \u201cHe longed for cleanliness and tidiness: it\nwas hard to find peace in the middle of disorder.\u201d\u2014Robin Hobb, City of Dragons<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Worn out clothes make us look worn out too. Every time we\nperform, we are presenting something new to an audience. We need to look our\nbest and overused clothes take away from such performances. A metaphor, referring\nto the new believers of a faith in old habits, it can be applied to costuming a\nperformance. When we deliver a \u2018new\u2019 performance we should not do so in decaying\nclothes. \u201cAnd no one puts new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the wine\nwill burst the skins\u2014and the wine is destroyed, and so are the skins. But new\nwine is for fresh wineskins.\u201d\u2014Mark 2:22, New\nInternational Version Bible<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Lastly, being approachable to your audience by understanding\ntheir material tastes is paramount, they make you relatable. Punk-stars wear\nblack and dark striking makeup while opera singers wear formal gowns and soft\ntoned makeup. If you were to wear a formal gown with warm tones to a punk-star\nconcert, you would seem out of place and your audience would have a hard time\nrelating to you. Therefore, we need to understand the fashionable taste of our\naudiences and our relatability should be demonstrated in our appearances. \u201cIt\u2019s\na wild thing, that people have the ability to help each other by just relating\nto one another.\u201d\u2014Natasha Lyonne<\/p>\n\n\n\n With our personal flair and style, being clean and tidy, by wearing clothes that are intact and in tasteful fashions, we pick the appearances that will speak to our audiences. When we do not take care with our physical presentation, we cause disorientation that takes away from this. Clothes are the outward expression of who we are and when we take care to pick our clothing, we are ready to perform for our audiences. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" An inspiration to do better as a performer.
