Gym scene with people sitting at desks. A woman in a suit stands and addresses them. Card reads ‘from writer & director Sarah Leigh’. A man dances in a nightclub. A couple walk through the park. Three people fist pump. A card reads ‘based on the play I’m non-typical, typical & told from lived experience’. People in masks surround the park couple. Someone pulls a man’s wheelchair from behind. A woman sits in a corridor. We return to the gym scene. A piece of paper is stamped ‘declined’. A woman sits on a sofa. We see different faces interjected with stamping. A woman screams. The card reads ‘Typical?’ ‘Coming soon’.

Life is funny. Recently, I've been relishing in the joy of spending time with my son Manny, as we both take part in this upcoming theatre production of NEWSIEs, offered by Shine On Performing Arts (SOPA). But an interesting thing happened along the way - I was reminded of a powerful lesson in leadership and inclusivity. We are fortunate to be part of SOPA, a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering a love for musical theatre in individuals of all ages and abilities. SOPA stands out not only for its captivating performances but also for its inclusive approach, offering opportunities for everyone, regardless of age or experience, to participate in all aspects of production, whether onstage or off. As we work together on this production, I’m reminded of the transformative impact that embracing different perspectives and working towards a common goal, augmented by great leadership can have. Each cast member, set designer, choreographer, prop maker, costume designer, tech crew member brings their unique talents to the production. We all receive “notes” from our director to improve and we all provide feedback on our view for the scene. Problems are solved collaboratively and quickly because no matter the hurdle – the show must go on. It works because we are all focused on the common goal and our director owns the vision, treats everyone with respect, and is decisive. This lesson holds true not only in the realm of community theatre but also in the workplace. By capturing your team’s mindshare to focus on the common goal, and fostering an environment of inclusivity and collaboration, great leaders harness the full potential of their workforce, drive innovation, and achieve success. In the same way that the Newsies unite behind Jack against adversity, and SOPA brings together a broad crew to put on a great show, teams in the workplace can overcome challenges and achieve extraordinary results when they rally behind their leader and work together towards a shared vision. No matter the challenge, great leadership and the principles of diversity and collaboration serve as guiding lights, that shine on the path to greatness. And if you’re in Austin and wish to catch a great show, come on by! https://lnkd.in/gacSEV4j #leadership #musical_theatre #life_balance #family_time

IMPORTANCE OF CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT IN ACTING:- We humans, all of us are Actors and tend to act differently in different spaces and scenarios. Our role and behavior changes with our interaction with different people, based on situation, place and objective. For example, when a man teaches in a school, he plays the role of a teacher and after working the whole day and the same tired man returns home to his children, he becomes a father. For an Actor understanding the dynamics of a character is very important and plays a crucial role in Character Development. It comes with focus, discipline and dedication towards learning and of course a lot of creativity. ‘Observation’ is the key to beginning the journey of a Character Development for better understanding of how humans behave, react and transform themselves in different circumstances of life. It also motivates to empathize with people from diverse backgrounds and also understand their emotional and physical capabilities with their gestures and facial expression, posture and many more other aspects. #Acting #CharacterDevelopment #Observation #nuances #ActorLife #Theatre #ActorsStudio #MethodActing #PerformanceArt #Drama #CharacterAnalysis #ActingTips #OnStage #FilmIndustry #Casting #Auditions #Storytelling #ScriptAnalysis #StageCraft #ActorsJourney #ActingSkills #TheatreCommunity #CastingCall #ActingCareer #ActorResource #CharacterCreation #TheatrePerformance

https://lnkd.in/g9G-mC52 Did you know that some of the most influential and successful individuals were once theatre kids? While I don't agree with *everything* in this article (some of the grown-up theatre kids mentioned, the fact that "everyone hates on theatre kids" 🙄...), as a certified Grown Up Theatre Kid, this certainly caught my attention! The impact of my formative experiences in theatre extend far beyond the stage. As an ESL teacher, international student advisor, career advisor and now a recruiter, I've found that my experiences in the theater have shaped my career in remarkable ways. Here's how: 1️⃣ Confidence: Theatre teaches you to command the stage and embrace your unique talents. This confidence translates to interviews, client interactions, and networking events, allowing you to make a lasting impression. 2️⃣ Communication Skills: Acting teaches the art of storytelling and effective communication. The ability to captivate an audience translates into captivating clients, candidates, and colleagues with compelling narratives. 3️⃣ Collaboration: Theatre productions rely on teamwork, trust, and collaboration. These skills are crucial in the recruitment field, where building strong relationships and fostering teamwork is essential for success. 4️⃣ Adaptability: In theatre, things don't always go as planned. Being adaptable and thinking on your feet is key. This skill is incredibly valuable in the ever-changing world of recruitment where challenges arise unexpectedly. 5️⃣ Creativity: Theatre nurtures creativity and the ability to think outside the box. As a recruiter, this skill helps me find innovative solutions, develop unique strategies, and approach challenges from different angles. So, if you were once a theatre kid like me, don't underestimate the power that those experiences hold in your professional life. Embrace your inner performer and let it elevate your career to new heights! Any other Grown-Up Theatre Kids out there? #TheatreKids #RecruiterLife #PeopleofJLL
