PASSION IN OUR INDUSTRY
Wed, 8 Feb 2006, 03:01 pmHey Peeps,
My name is Rose and i would like to post one thing and one thing only,we have to be the only industry i know that gets paid great amounts to do what we love to do and we do it with passion and energy everyday,we also get paid to pass on our OWN knowledge and experience to our peers that know only what we tell to them so how about we let go of all the bagging and concentrate on working together to create a wholesome,full and vibing community rather than creating tension for all those that need to work together and lets work in harmony,for we are only gypsies!
Love Light and Happiness

Hey, once again, I agree with your sentiment. But there's an underlying sense of humour in the responses above that you may have missed. It's probably my fault, I was first to respond with a jibe....and then someone called me a dick for doing so. What followed might have seemed like bickering, but I don't believe anyone is disputing what Gypsy Rose had first written, other than sending ourselves up by bickering about it as she said we would.

I try not to deliberately be humiliating, and if I was, I apologise. If you mean the dick who called me a dick, then I'm not humilated by that. It made a point, and spoke volumes. Rest assured it hasn't destroyed my spark...I may yet turn into a talented star.

Although I'm perhaps the main offender for making smart comments, your admonishment doesn't really apply in my case because I AM a professional performer. (Who by the way has been involved in several community productions over the past year).
Don't be dismayed that carrying on like this is responsible for amateur theatre not being taken seriously... the professionals don't keep away because there's too much bickering here - they keep away because they're too busy bickering amongst themselves.
Cheers,
Craig
