We all felt a bit exhausted today. When we got out to the Mile, we just didn’t have as much energy as previous days. Our voices are going. We found ourselves so mesmerised by Hamlet House of Horror‘s singing we kept forgetting to talk to people….
Sure enough, this was reflected by a dip in the number of people in our audience. (Not that we’re complaining – we still had an amazing 70 seats filled! Thank you to each and every one of you!)
We still had a great crowd and we managed to pick up for the performance, but it’s becoming evident that we’re going to need to pace ourselves in order to keep up our momentum. There’s no point in exhausting ourselves whilst flyering and then giving bad performances, but equally, there’s no point in putting all our energy into flyering and then not having the energy to put on a great show.
The two lessons of the day are:
- We have to pace ourselves and find that perfect balance between energy spent flyering and energy spent performning
- There is a one-to-one correlation between the effort put in flyering and the number of people who turn up on the door wanting to see the show.
Oh well, if we were going to have an off day with flyering, at least it was on a two-for-one day. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. Shame the forecast looks cold and rainy….
