ROGUE REPORT March 3a
by XPR Goddess
AFFINITY: kinship:resemblance:attractiveness:attraction:chemical attraction:consanguinity:attractive force:blood kinship
These are all of the words that have come up in conversations over and over again.
Thursdays Full Circle Brewery felt like a family reunion. Even the new faces felt like family.
Da Rogue asked if I would be interested in being a reporter sharing my "has been" experience with y'all. I think he's keeping me busy so I don't end up behind a table volunteering. It's difficult to let go. The Rogue Performance Festival is like a child that keeps growing and evolving. Holy Cow! 200 Acts! This child keeps growing.
Many artists may not admit it but they thrive in a community. We (artists) need deadlines to show our work. Otherwise, it would never be finished, there is always something to tweek to make "it" even better. I like to call these artists communities and my friends my tribe.
When the spark of affinity ignites...magic is created and it's viral. You want this virus.
Waiting in line chatting with some old friends I found myself recognizing some volunteers from a couple of years ago. Three years and the volunteers keep coming back with the same excitement and enthusiasm. I remember when this husband and wife team volunteered at their first venue. They were nervous, they had just discovered their place a tribe that they liked. It was nice to see that they still like it as I do.
I love to sit in the back of the theatre so that I can get the complete show experience. The audience reaction. Stagehands and tech crew running like crazy to fix a cranky light.
There's more....but, I gotta catch a show....
