The fairylights in the Studio are staying on until all this is over and we get back to classes 💪
✨
Give this a read:
✨
In the theatre there is a tradition whenever the theatre is empty - we always make sure to leave one light on. Typically it’s on a stand in the centre of the stage, this light is known as “the ghost light”.
🕯
There are many stories about its origin, but it’s meaning is unmistakable.
It means that though the theatre is empty, we will return to douse it, and start another show, another season, another concert, another performance.
🎭
So here’s to the ARTISTS!
The technicians, the electricians, the carpenters, the mechanists, the riggers, the loaders/unloaders, the freelancers, the directors, the designers, the stage managers, the actors, the dancers, the teachers, the students, the creators, the stitchers and the makers, the ushers and the patrons, those in rep and those on tour, those in receiving houses and those at sea.....
💕
Many of us have and will take big hits during this time of the virus. Financial and emotional weight have come crashing down, as our entire industry is reduced to nothing but a load of ghost lights. But those ghost lights are temporary place holders. 💡
They are a sign. We might be down now, but our passion, our creativity, and our drive stands alongside those ghost lights that stand centre stage, that we will be switching off and unplugging in no time.
💃
WE WILL BE BACK, when this storm has passed. WE WILL RETURN TO DOUSE IT. .
