Let’s Talk About Acting…

I don’t mean social acting, I mean real acting, on a real stage, in front of a real audience…

For me, it’s something I never thought I’d be able to do, to leave everything that’s “me” behind the curtains, and turn into an incarnation of everything I never was, and never will be!
A neat-freak psycho who’s always equipped with a duster, a mop, and all kind of silly Syrian detergent advertisements…
To sing (أوريس وبس ) and (يا مبيض الأفراح ) in front of four hundred person is so so sooooo not me!!!

But I did it, I did it!
And I LOVED IT, I loved the great whoosh of adrenalin, I loved being on stage, the crowd, their laughs their cheers…
I loved not being “me” for a while, and being, with my friends, part of an amazing “home-made” play.

Still, on the other hand, there’s all the stress and anxiety and stomach ache, the responsibility to give it more than my best, and the fear “what if something goes wrong?”, but if it comes to me, I’d do it all over again.

Today, I have challenged myself…
I have done what I thought I could never do…
And I enjoyed it!!!
