TESTIMONIALS
FROM THE BLOG
Have you ever seen a live performance where something has gone wrong? For example, an actor needs to carry a prop across the stage, and then they drop it in front of everyone.
For a moment, any focus and attention from the audience and the performers is palpable. Even if the audience has not been paying attention at all until this point, this one moment is usually so honest and authentic that everyone is now fully listening to see how the actors will respond.
