Dancing! Both socially and performatively. It's very fulfilling to me and is an easy way to raise my mood. there are very rarely any times where I come in and out with a foul mood.
Do you have an arts center or a class that you go to? Cause mine is working events, I grew up going to a performing arts center and while I'm not dancing inclined I do love acting, instruments and singing but I also LOVE all the tech to make a performance run.
All the hustle and bustle of generally happy and excited people, setting up the bits and pieces, running the shows. Ahh...
My least favorite part must be the paperwork involved but it is evils necessity!
I regularly go to classes for (non-ballroom) latin dance and occasionally dip my toes in a swing event. I used to professionally perform classical music and burned out real hard some years ago; It's nice to have started something from the ground up. Enjoyment and mastery at my own pace.
It makes me happy to see techie enjoy the job rather. It makes the whole thing feel more human and connecting as everyone wants to be there showcasing their craft.
That's awesome! The teams I've always been part of are usually artists as well, but there's a lot of tech focused people too. Without you all we wouldn't have such fun work! My favorite performances are always running dance shows, easily the most diverse and unique performances! And it's always so dynamic setting up for preshow to help the vision come to life with stage lighting. I've done quite a few, salsa/Mexican Son, modern and hip hop, contemporary and ballet, capoeira and ariel dance! All of them are just so different from every facet of it, it's really incredible! I can't even pick a favorite!
Man, I actually miss working dance shows - so much less paperwork, events are usually much more focused and require less space setup and more show setup, and rehearsals are just getting a QLab set made... Theater sets are fun but oh so large, and I'm oh so small lmao.
