A similar form of storytelling such as shadow puppetry and cave paintings where the storyteller and the audience are in the same room is live theatre, such as plays or musicals. I’ve helped out in some musicals before back in high school, but normally I choose to be an audience member. When you’re on a stage I often found it to be a very polarizing moment to be looked at by so many people, but the feeling afterwards was always a bit of an adrenaline rush. As an audience member, I’m often caught between just experiencing what I’m watching and just being so excited to witness it, or I can get caught up in thinking what the performer might also be feeling as they are acting. I wonder, are they nervous or are they also enjoying performing. I think acting live on stage is a bit more vulnerable than shadow puppetry, but it still emotes the same feelings. Both require passion and talent for what you do.
