In our spiritual class, 6 friends of mine had put up a 10-minute skit 3 months ago. I was given the opportunity to direct that skit.
It happened with not too much time on hands. And barely an hour’s practice before the final performance. Yet the skit managed to make people laugh.
Last weekend my friends put that skit again. This time after practising for 1-2 hours for 3 days straight. The result was more polished, more refined and more coordinated output. Of course the audience was also happy.
The participants confessed they still needed better practice.
No matter what we do, the answer is always practice. Practice does not mean mere repetition. But a focused repetition while smoothening out the edges and getting better each time.
With practice, non actors become actors, non dancers become dancers, and people like me who love to operate in silos become directors 🙂
Whatever the question, the answer is practice.
