I'm pretty sure most people get at least a little nervous before a performance, and I am no exception. However, having been performing since I was about 8 years old, I've learnt to relish the nervousness and fuel it towards powering myself on stage. I love being on stage, I'm an absolute addict. Before a Peaches 'n' Gin production I am normally more nervous about things like ticket sales, enough seating, music and lighting, and all the other things that go along with running a show.
I think it has mostly to do with the fact that this is the first time I've been officially judged (we're always unofficially being judged by our audiences!) on my performance skills since those terrifying ballet exams when I was seven years old. It's also the first time I've competed with other performers (apart from the food fights I've had with Sapphire on stage!), and it's not helped by the fact that the SA entrants are all of such a high calibre! I've always considered myself a very confident performer, as I've said before, you have to drag me off star sometimes. But this competition has got all my normal performance feelings twisted around. Hopefully when it comes to those seconds before I step on to stage and the lights come up, the usual surge of adrenalin and excitement will carry me to success, and I won't drop my basket (or case!).
