Chasing dreams; what's the price?

Theatre vs Business? That was the outstanding question I pondered hard on about a week ago. After much contemplation, the answer I chose is clear. I guess the title of this post harbours a metaphor and a pun. But that's not the crux of the matter. Anyway, so i've decided to do what I like to do. I mean, its now or never right? As such, I've attempted to contact a Wardrobe Mistress with the help of someone really kind and helpful. I guess this means I would start as a dresser for small productions and slowly work my way up? I hope it works out. Actually, I don't exactly know what I want or what I would love most to do. I guess right now i'm just feeling around and trying to sought out something that really drives me. It's sort of like trying to find the door in darkness? I mean it's not like finding light, but more like an exit, a door; something that would BRING me to light. Maybe even a window would do? A hole? A crack? I don't know. At least I have the slight advantage of time right now. And yes, I am trying to make the best of it.

Why do I volunteer for theatre companies? I guess, currently, receiving as much as I work for in return, still isn't my utmost priority. I mean, even if I'm not given free tickets or being paid, it doesn't matter. It seems there's some force that compels me to do whatever task I'm assigned - no matter how mundane - when I'm on the job, with zeal and enjoying it. Perhaps this is that elusive thing they call, Passion. - 3rd Oct
