Well its all over now and i have had a while to reflect. The audience really really liked it and understood the poignancy of the piece with it being our final performance. The performing of this piece especially the second one was so emotional, i felt a little silly but i think if anything it added to the performance because people were so invested in wanting to communicate with the audience (who by the way were also emotional). at the end when we sit in line facing the audience -mirroring the beginning- with unforgettable playing it meant so much. It sound very cheesy but i will never forget these people. i was in floods of tears and if I'm honest i had been holding it in since the start. i don't know why but before the actual performance a lot of the meaning f this piece was lost on me, I'm rather ashamed to say. I think for me the performing of this piece was us communicating to our friends and audience that we have changed and grown with there help over the past three years... but now we have to let them go. and this was our way of sating good bye. we didn't know this really while making it but thats exactly what it was... it must have been in the groups sub-conscious. I am in love with this piece, its still a little scrappy in places and f coarse is could be made better, but, it took me out of my comfort zone completely and i am thrilled to leave on the high that id 'All Thats left'.
Fractured Fusion, sadly minus Glenn went to london to perform another show the day after we finished 'All Thats Left' and we saw this street performer... I have to admit i shed a quiet sentimental tear while watching this man re create the the gentle legend that is Charlie Chaplin's 'tramp'.
