It is so important to have the backing of the family close friends, professionals and the lay public to make a good artiste a great one. Time and again one sees the child fail on the stage, not because of lack of training but anxiety when he or she senses that there is no real support to endorses or improve his/her talent from the immediate family. This can be overwhelming in situations like Arangeram or the first performance of the child on stage for a wider audience than the dance school friends under the supervision of the Guru. Even the best of the Gurus and hours and years of training would not work when the child appears on the stage and senses that her folk are neither in the audience nor likely to arrive in time. This sort of anxiety can easily trouble the well trained artiste in the early stages and later it is about the response of the audience.
I know of a great singer who used to "see" the Goddess Saraswathi in the audience when she opens her eyes after a long alabanai as a solace or replacement to someone whom she would have loved to see from the audience. I know of another who missed her family at her arangerram not because they had some practical difficulty in reaching the auditorium but deliberately chose to ignore the event as a "punishment" for disobeying them for some reason which she maintains today after ten years, as totally legitimate. She finished her performance keeping them away from her mind and after some neighbours who dropped her home and she found the entire family watching a movie in TV, all hell broke lose and she lost it. Even to date recalling the ordeal she shudders to remember the anxiety and helpless she felt on the day she should have been joyful with exhilaration I know of a parent who after her office hours in a tough school environment drive 20 km come rain or cold to reach her daughter to the Dance Guru three days a week. And also some weekends. She says when her child took to the stage for the lone performance it was the best moment for the couple ever
The idea is simple, never miss a chance to be with your kids in her or his hour of glory and support them with the best possible time you can spare all other things dont really matter. The quality of guitar is nothing when compared with the quality of support. When the child is studying sit up somewhere nearby reading a book or browsing something sensible. When the child is performing or practicing make sure you are around somewhere. Also it is very important to be supportive of the Artiste as they grow in stature to take care of her Calander, travel, visa, stage pre-inspection, make up, invitations, photographers, social media promotion, reviews in print and so many other nitty gritties. There is also the science behind such actions The fear of being left out, also known as "fear of missing out" (FOMO), is a feeling of apprehension that you're not included in events, conversations, or experiences. It can lead to anxiety, stress, and self-doubt. Thothathri Raman www.seaaservices.org
