I really admire you for having so much diversity in your videos and still attract a large portion of your subscribers . That's not an easy thing to do. Most channels only work inside a very narrow niche. Episodes that don't revolve around the "core issues/main topic" of the channel are often ignored by a large portion of the audience. But in your case it seems to work just fine. Maybe it's the difference between showing a skill and "having an act" once again :D
If it is interesting, you can go out of your wheel house every now and then... Some follow you for your content, some follow you for having similar interests.
It also has to do with a channel's audience. Since Lloyd's videos are of more often things he cares about, he attracts a lot of people who share similar interests as he.
I really enjoyed this video. A nice twist and reminds me of all the times I've spent in theatre, on and off stage. The small hiccups and the catastrophes make going to the theatre as an audience member so magical because they make every show unique. I love it!
Its really heatwarming seeing Lindy show more of his performing side. Normally we only see him lecturing all professorial like, this sort of video makes me appreciate just how well rounded his skills and perspective are.
This is a lot more interesting than I had thought it would be. Like probably most of the people here, I subscribed because of well, medieval stuff, tanks, your videos on table top ganes and wargaming and general history stuff, but it's nice to see something different that is pretty obvious really matters and resonates with you. Wow, that was a run on sentence if I've ever seen one. The rest of you sodding sods can sod off soddingly, because this is rad stuff.
It really shouldn't be surprising that someone with Lloyd's charisma is also a great performer, yet here we are. I'm stunned by how good these snippets were.
Great video! The thing I like most about this channel is that you display that much different fields of interest, and it shows that you are even able to say highly interesting things about all of them!
I found my self nodding to a lot of this! I've performed for nearly 20 years, doing improvisation, sketch, music, and burlesque, and much of this struck home with me. It's a pleasant surprise to see you hosting shows!
As a performer of many years, I really appreciated this vid, LB. You reminded me of some things that are easy to forget, as well as sparked a few thoughts on ways to invigorate my own shows, which I sometimes feel get a little tired around the edges. Thanks for a great vid!
It's absolutely incredible to see you on stage in events like this - especially because I'm used to good old Lloyd speaking to me about tanks and tactics from his living room. Great video, by the way.
I like this video a lot! I normally check out your medieval combat videos but I was pleasantly surprised to see you're a performer as well! I run a Jazz night in Battersea and I found a lot of what you said about putting on a show rings true, I find it much easier to get through a night when you roll with the punches, accept and integrate mistakes, and deliver the product with a lot of panache!
While not the most structured video, even to your standards, I really enjoyed watching it. It took me a while to get what you were aiming for in this video and I think you're spot on! I find it refreshing to see such an (almost) off topic video.
I love this channel. I learn something every video i watch and you turn subjects i never knew i had interest in into the most interesting few minutes of the day.
You know, you're one of a handful of RUclipsrs I know who will put things like this out there. I'm glad you did. I quite enjoyed it! Maybe you should do more like this one...
Good shoutout to the backstagers, the spotlight operator, the live sound mixer, the photo/videographer. For those that dabble in work that only gets recognized when something goes wrong (the dissatisfiers), it's nice to know that some people know the effort that goes into it.
Folky here, one of the festivals I go to every year has a speed ploughing competition. Which is far more interesting than it sounds; the basic premise is turn up and play a 32 bar reel, called Speed the Plough, as fast as you can (I think the festival record is 13.84 seconds, that's a smidge over 573 beats per minute for the musically minded, and there's a lot of quavers in there, so at times that's an effective 1146 notes per minute). But it's far more than just people turning up and playing at bone breaking pace, the guys that run it turn the thing into a proper act - from the Top Gear inspired masked squeezebox player who sets the benchmark every year, to the magnetic strips that wrap around the pillar with silly remarks on them, to the amount of mickey taking they come out with. And the participants step up to the plate as well. Aside from the serious entries, there's also the comics who turn up to compete for the Curly Wurlies (for best audience response). Everything from dance teams blowing beer bottles (that they've drunk the correct amounts from themselves), to rubber chickens and air melodeons, to bands playing it as a piece of reggae (that was my guys this year, a personal worst of 58.94 seconds, we're becoming known for hair-brained schemes to get the chocolate). But the kicker is that most of these comedy groups only have a day or so to get everything worked out - people arrive on Saturday and Sunday, and the show's on the Monday. Some of these groups are comprised of people from opposite ends of the country, who only meet for this one week a year (in point of fact, our whistle player doesn't even live in the UK anymore, and our tuba player only got there at 3 am on the Monday morning). So with only a few hours to come up with something, a dozen or more people step up and put on these great short snaps of comedy. Oh, and people only sign up about 30 minutes before the start!
Dear Heart! You bring back my memories of volunteering with the Moisture Festival in Seattle. It still happens every year in March and April. If you can be there to see it... A skilled performer can make almost any on stage disaster into part of the act - and you are absolutely right about having a skill being different from having an act. Thank you for the distraction.
Thank you for this video! I did some musical theatre in my late teens and my experience was similar. For the past years I always dreaded having to perform songs on guitar for others, constantly making small mistakes during practice that someone not intimately familiar with the songs wouldn't even notice. Maybe it's time to get out there again and focus more on improvisation and performing.
Great tap dancing too..when I was listening and it reminded me of sammy Davis Jr..and Gene kelly I think that's how you spell his name ?? And you done amazing job on this video too...Thank you so so much
Why and how in the name of all that is just and good, is Lindy not a famous TV personality/actor/presenter? What an excellent video Lindy, haven't enjoyed a youtube vid as much as this in a while.
TheBeetle It was in another language, but did you mean it genuinely or as in reserve psychology because I took it as the latter and I want to know how badly I f****d up.
Dear Lloyd, could you make a video named "What wins Wars" , where you discuss your opinion about how important the different elements to succeding in a major armed conflict are? My take is: The skill, training and mindfulness of the soldiers - 10% The sheer amount of troops - 20% The tactics and strategy of the command - 30% The abillity to supply the war and have reliable supplylines - 40% And what you think of that sectioning?
One must consider how the world is much more complicated than that, before answering such a question, for example, say there were a soldier of great strength, fortitude, and skill who beat an army of a hundred, all single-handedly whilst singing a tune. Consider him to have done so from a choke point. What first do we look at? (His training, the terrain, intuition, the strength of the fighter?) This in and of itself weighs in on what percentage we will likely choose to attribute to a certain aspect of a battle. We think first of how many things we can think of at that moment that are there to consider, (let's go with six) and then we think of what percentage seems like would take up a good chunk of that percentage without taking up too much of the whole (Well there is that one thing down at the bottom of the list that seems important and we do have six factors to consider so let's go with 10%, or, alternatively, I think that this factor and that bit there played a major role in that battle, so let's go with 30%) , so as to leave room for those factors which will be considered at a later point. If, when considering those later factors, however, one manages to come up with something else that he might believe contributes to the battle then he must start all over again, say, how well the fighter dances ( see previous argumentative video by Lindybeige, I spent relatively little time attempting to find the link for it but I was unable to do so with said cursory search.) So with this relatively quickly forged and poorly written rambly sort of argumentative jumble in mind, do we say that it was the singing of the tune that distracted the soldiers enough for the man to beat the men, or was it the man's off hand( remember, single handedly) that he was using to sign their retirement papers that he beat them with?
keep it short, couldn't agree more with this. one thing I love so much about old musicals from the 30's and 40's is how short they are and always leave you wanting one more song and performance from the actors.
I really like this. As someone who really wants to get into this (and has been involved in productions), I love everything in this video, and have definitely experienced the struggles of someone who is in charge but doesn't seem to care about everything going smoothly.
I have no personal interest in swing dancing, live shows or theater in general... Yet you presented it in such a way I was entertained by, almost like an episode of "How it's Made" You are quite the performer on stage and off it would seem.
Good stuff. I've just taken on teaching drama at my school (again) and I am keen that everyone in the class can excel at their comfort level, be that performer, director, sound or light engineer, set designer or costumier.
Working in theatre myself I couldn't agree more about working with talented people I would honestly rather put on a show with just hours of rehearsal with a talented and motivated cast and crew, than having months to work on something with sub par people.
As an actor AND a tecnician I really loved this video, there will maybe better explanaicions of this topic, but no better video about the feeling and what you learn in shows.
i dont completely agree with one statement there. school acts are a bad idea if the kids are forced to be in it, even more so if they are given a role that they dont like. any play will outright suck once you spotted the artists that dont wanna be there a school play can be all the better if all the participants love doing it, even completely incapable actors and musicians will impress an audience if they do it enthusiastically
Well I think he's talking more about variety/gang-show/sketch productions than 'serious theatre'.... depends on the age of the kids involved too but basically the director needs to find something suitable for everyone to do - which might include operating the lights
cyberanimealien yes, thank you very much if you apply force anywhere when educating your children, it is all bound to backfire chances are great that the kid will grow up to hate it, whatever it is. force a kid to be nice to girls and beat him the fuck up when he is impolite to a woman and you will get a misogynist. force a kid to learn french or russian and he will hate their whole culture, language and nation. force a kid to sit through a lesson on sex ed and you will get a 40 year old virgin. force a kid to wear modest clothes and you will get a punk with a bazillion tattoos, piercings and torn clothing. it is always the parents that mean the best things that get the most fucked up kids parents that give their kids freedom will get children that actively choose to do the right things in life. children cannot be "cool" by rebelling if there is nothing to rebel against.
well i would have to say that one required attendance at early school years would be ok to have the children have sort of an idea of what theater is. its pretty much one more way to have one introduced to something they may eventually like (or not and then they can just avoid it, but more stress placed on the former case). As for the develops personality quote, I believe there is a reason as to why people say it (not a good one). A student, more often than not, will not have greatly developed the skills he/she is to develop during the rehearsals. Now as the beginning of the development of a skill tends to occur fast, the fact that the skills they develop there are most likely expression related and that they are are influenced by the teachers and other students involved in the production (due to similar interests) pretty much has resulted to that quote
this came out at a very interesting time for me, because i just finished a movie called Showboat (the 1930s one) in a class this very same day of release. In one part of it, there was an act not dissimilar to what these people are doing. the movie even highlights the occasional screw up on the stage to give it a more realistic feel, like a door failing to open on the stage or a prop goes missing so the prop guy has to improvise. It was all very interesting
I was in a pretty cooperation-light show disguised as a male pageant in high school. The most we had to do was a big opening dance number and then simply be on time and dressed for our separate acts. Still, it is immensely satisfying to be part of a live production and hear the crowd's reaction to your hard work in real time.
As a student stage technician, I found this a very entertaining video, and indeed, spotlight operators or any technician for that matter are important ;-)
You know, I think you genuinely are the most interesting man in the world. lol. Oh, and Cabaret has never looked so appealing. I might just be a fan now!
As I have learned from playing shows with my band is that mistakes and unexpected things that happen in the moment make the show so much more memorable
I am currently studying acting in university, and I can confirm that the most important part of performing is just being loose and comfortable. Rehearsal is important obviously, as is experience, but nothing beats just living in your performance. Screw ups happen, but the worst thing you can do is get tight and as Lindy says, just a just show off your skill. The best part of any show is when mistakes happen, and then those actors that are loose and living in it really shine cause they can react and keep going. I'm not the best actor, but that's not important, what's important is living in it and being alive. Showing off a skill is just boring.
I thought your Iliad video would be my favorite from your channel, I must say, this one tops it, and on a topic I only have minimum experience in nonetheless.
Oh, how nice! I really like Swing dancing. I played in a school Bigband and nowadays in my own band we do Jazz Sessions. (Quite oppsite to our usual prog-rock :D) Well, a great thing would be if I ever got to Play at such an event and see so many great people dancing delightfully to the music. Must feel especially rewarding. Wish you the best for future events "post"-covid. 👍
I've only just started watching you and have subscribed to your channel. I'm really impressed with you! You're a man of many talents! I went over to Courses Plus as well on your recommendation. Keep up the good work sir!!!
"Hi I'm Lindybeige my interests include medieval English warfare, World Wars, and tap dancing"
... and that's just the top of the iceberg
oh, and roleplay gaming, Sci-Fi, evolutionary biology, and model making.
world wars covered that...
Kevin Torres And an almost fanatical devotion under the pope, oh god damn it!
photography, lindyhop, sewing.
I really admire you for having so much diversity in your videos and still attract a large portion of your subscribers . That's not an easy thing to do. Most channels only work inside a very narrow niche. Episodes that don't revolve around the "core issues/main topic" of the channel are often ignored by a large portion of the audience. But in your case it seems to work just fine. Maybe it's the difference between showing a skill and "having an act" once again :D
If it is interesting, you can go out of your wheel house every now and then...
Some follow you for your content, some follow you for having similar interests.
I think he could make almost anything interesting. In fact i would like to see if it was possible for him to make a subject boring.
Lindybeige is the true "Most Interesting Man In The World", how could you NOT subscribe to him?
It also has to do with a channel's audience. Since Lloyd's videos are of more often things he cares about, he attracts a lot of people who share similar interests as he.
We don't just watch Lindybeige for his content.
We watch him for who he is.
Oh Mr. Lindybeige, you're so damn awesome
I second this statement.
Jaxa 110 that would have made science if I said doubled unfortunately I didn't
Inquisitor Zashen I third this statement.
He is too social, for my liking! Its insane sociality!
Imagine Lindy wearing medieval armor, dancing and singing on top of a ww2 tank. It will be EPIC!!!
Especially if he trips. The racket would be tremendous.
This needs to happen
I SECOND THIS SO HARD!
Its nice to see Lindy preform :)
As nice as watching him postform
Olli Ba-dum tsss
Last post 5:30 weekdays.
He is too social, wtf!
I really enjoyed this video. A nice twist and reminds me of all the times I've spent in theatre, on and off stage. The small hiccups and the catastrophes make going to the theatre as an audience member so magical because they make every show unique. I love it!
That beast with the body of a woman and the head of a woman made me lol
It was brilliantly delivered.
It's an old line, but still made me laugh
Tap dance in that armor of yours.
Yes, this must happen.
pottman101 yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
yes. Oh yes. This one. This has to happen.
Well, that would be more like shake, rattle and we would be rolling.
*armour
Fucking Americanised cretin.
Its really heatwarming seeing Lindy show more of his performing side. Normally we only see him lecturing all professorial like, this sort of video makes me appreciate just how well rounded his skills and perspective are.
interesting. i like when people have unexpected layers.
He's like an onion.
Like me?
Briansgate like onions ?
Lindy has nothing but layers. he's one of those people that have lived enough for 10
He was/is a dance instructor
This is a lot more interesting than I had thought it would be. Like probably most of the people here, I subscribed because of well, medieval stuff, tanks, your videos on table top ganes and wargaming and general history stuff, but it's nice to see something different that is pretty obvious really matters and resonates with you. Wow, that was a run on sentence if I've ever seen one. The rest of you sodding sods can sod off soddingly, because this is rad stuff.
Gene Adam I agree
It really shouldn't be surprising that someone with Lloyd's charisma is also a great performer, yet here we are. I'm stunned by how good these snippets were.
Lindybeige can really do everything! I knew it!
Except sing well. He said so himself. You can't do him do that.
Great video! The thing I like most about this channel is that you display that much different fields of interest, and it shows that you are even able to say highly interesting things about all of them!
What a Nice break from the usual! Love it
Loved that look at another side of you, Lloyd!
Some of his early vids were swingdance vids. If you put them in order from oldest to newest they should be on the first two pages.
I'm aware, but it's been awhile since he's shown that side of him, and not in this much depth.
True. I think the Herrang videos were the last before this and nothing more before those for a few years that I can remember.
7:43 "Brave but not dignified" is the little motto beneath my family's coat of arms.
I found my self nodding to a lot of this! I've performed for nearly 20 years, doing improvisation, sketch, music, and burlesque, and much of this struck home with me. It's a pleasant surprise to see you hosting shows!
This video painfully reminded me of that one time that I was that lone spot light operator who messed up. 😂
One of the best videos I have ever seen in my life! Thanks, Lindybeige!
I think we need to see a full show Lindy
As a Lindy Hop aficionado, history buff and WW2 nerd I truly admire what your are doing with your channel!
As a performer of many years, I really appreciated this vid, LB. You reminded me of some things that are easy to forget, as well as sparked a few thoughts on ways to invigorate my own shows, which I sometimes feel get a little tired around the edges. Thanks for a great vid!
Bravo Sir, bravo!
It's absolutely incredible to see you on stage in events like this - especially because I'm used to good old Lloyd speaking to me about tanks and tactics from his living room. Great video, by the way.
I ve just realized that you are an incredible showman (and as it seems, showman mostly - always delivering a great fun and joy in your performance)
Is there anything you haven't done in your life Lindy?
I really enjoy the pattern on that cane near the 4:15 mark. I had no idea you were such a talented individual. Wonderful video! Thanks for sharing!
I like this video a lot! I normally check out your medieval combat videos but I was pleasantly surprised to see you're a performer as well! I run a Jazz night in Battersea and I found a lot of what you said about putting on a show rings true, I find it much easier to get through a night when you roll with the punches, accept and integrate mistakes, and deliver the product with a lot of panache!
While not the most structured video, even to your standards, I really enjoyed watching it. It took me a while to get what you were aiming for in this video and I think you're spot on! I find it refreshing to see such an (almost) off topic video.
I think this is one of your best videos yet. Keep up the great work.
I'm way into theater and it really means a lot to hear someone whose opinion I respect advocate it's importance, thanks Lloyd
I love this channel. I learn something every video i watch and you turn subjects i never knew i had interest in into the most interesting few minutes of the day.
You know, you're one of a handful of RUclipsrs I know who will put things like this out there. I'm glad you did. I quite enjoyed it! Maybe you should do more like this one...
oh man i can see the improvements of your work (production) over the years. keep it up, looks good.
Good shoutout to the backstagers, the spotlight operator, the live sound mixer, the photo/videographer. For those that dabble in work that only gets recognized when something goes wrong (the dissatisfiers), it's nice to know that some people know the effort that goes into it.
A rant about importance of walking sticks might be interesting in the future.
Ive never seen a cabaret show, but this video makes it looks like a lot of fun.
The show must go on!
Inside my heart is breaking!
My make-up may be flaking.
But my smile still stays on
Whatever happens, I leave it all to chance.
Had no idea limdubeige had such a good stage presence... Probably should have seen it coming with the no editing videos
I do adore the videos you make about swing shows, Lindyhop, etc. I must get around to seeing a show soon!
Folky here, one of the festivals I go to every year has a speed ploughing competition. Which is far more interesting than it sounds; the basic premise is turn up and play a 32 bar reel, called Speed the Plough, as fast as you can (I think the festival record is 13.84 seconds, that's a smidge over 573 beats per minute for the musically minded, and there's a lot of quavers in there, so at times that's an effective 1146 notes per minute). But it's far more than just people turning up and playing at bone breaking pace, the guys that run it turn the thing into a proper act - from the Top Gear inspired masked squeezebox player who sets the benchmark every year, to the magnetic strips that wrap around the pillar with silly remarks on them, to the amount of mickey taking they come out with.

So with only a few hours to come up with something, a dozen or more people step up and put on these great short snaps of comedy.
Oh, and people only sign up about 30 minutes before the start!
This is a nice change of pace. Classic lindybeige!
Lloyd, looking sharp as always. Keep doing what you enjoy, thanks for sharing as always.
So that's why Lloyd is exteremely comfortable on camera and speaks fluently
A perfect example of a man who knows how to have fun with his life.
Dear Heart! You bring back my memories of volunteering with the Moisture Festival in Seattle. It still happens every year in March and April. If you can be there to see it...
A skilled performer can make almost any on stage disaster into part of the act - and you are absolutely right about having a skill being different from having an act.

Why and how in the name of all that is just and good, is Lindy not a famous TV personality/actor/presenter? What an excellent video Lindy, haven't enjoyed a youtube vid as much as this in a while.
2 quick questions:
1.Is this your "day-job"
2.How much training/vocational education went into these ventures?
whatever you do, don't click on 1.Is
TheBeetle I wouldn't say don't, it's a very well designed website
what is it even for?
TheBeetle It was in another language, but did you mean it genuinely or as in reserve psychology because I took it as the latter and I want to know how badly I f****d up.
Idk, I just wanted to point it out
Never knew you did this but once again never seem to fail to put up a good video
Such diverse hobbies. From Axes and Vikings to Tactical retreats to film criticism to... Tap dancing?
Glad your not afraid to upload what you like!
Dear Lloyd, could you make a video named "What wins Wars" , where you discuss your opinion about how important the different elements to succeding in a major armed conflict are? My take is:
The skill, training and mindfulness of the soldiers - 10%
The sheer amount of troops - 20%
The tactics and strategy of the command - 30%
The abillity to supply the war and have reliable supplylines - 40%
And what you think of that sectioning?
However many factors you think of, there will always be more, so how do you get it to add to 100?
SENPAI NOTICED ME
then maybe the top 5 elements, according to you?
Literally a Fox you don't win a war. You just didn't lose.
Literally a Fox you missed will to fight. IMO that is a big factor, just look at Vietnam.
One must consider how the world is much more complicated than that, before answering such a question, for example, say there were a soldier of great strength, fortitude, and skill who beat an army of a hundred, all single-handedly whilst singing a tune. Consider him to have done so from a choke point. What first do we look at? (His training, the terrain, intuition, the strength of the fighter?) This in and of itself weighs in on what percentage we will likely choose to attribute to a certain aspect of a battle. We think first of how many things we can think of at that moment that are there to consider, (let's go with six) and then we think of what percentage seems like would take up a good chunk of that percentage without taking up too much of the whole (Well there is that one thing down at the bottom of the list that seems important and we do have six factors to consider so let's go with 10%, or, alternatively, I think that this factor and that bit there played a major role in that battle, so let's go with 30%) , so as to leave room for those factors which will be considered at a later point. If, when considering those later factors, however, one manages to come up with something else that he might believe contributes to the battle then he must start all over again, say, how well the fighter dances ( see previous argumentative video by Lindybeige, I spent relatively little time attempting to find the link for it but I was unable to do so with said cursory search.) So with this relatively quickly forged and poorly written rambly sort of argumentative jumble in mind, do we say that it was the singing of the tune that distracted the soldiers enough for the man to beat the men, or was it the man's off hand( remember, single handedly) that he was using to sign their retirement papers that he beat them with?
keep it short, couldn't agree more with this. one thing I love so much about old musicals from the 30's and 40's is how short they are and always leave you wanting one more song and performance from the actors.
Having taken part in some amateur theatre I have to say that this is, IMHO, one of the better vids in recent memory.
I really like this. As someone who really wants to get into this (and has been involved in productions), I love everything in this video, and have definitely experienced the struggles of someone who is in charge but doesn't seem to care about everything going smoothly.
I'm a simple man. I see a Lindybeige video and I like it.
I have no personal interest in swing dancing, live shows or theater in general...
Yet you presented it in such a way I was entertained by, almost like an episode of "How it's Made"
You are quite the performer on stage and off it would seem.
I absolutely, completely love this video. I mean, Your historical stuff is great, but that was incredibly interesting. More please :D
Good stuff. I've just taken on teaching drama at my school (again) and I am keen that everyone in the class can excel at their comfort level, be that performer, director, sound or light engineer, set designer or costumier.
Working in theatre myself I couldn't agree more about working with talented people I would honestly rather put on a show with just hours of rehearsal with a talented and motivated cast and crew, than having months to work on something with sub par people.
I'm a professional stage manager and I think this is a great video, loads of excellent points!
As an actor AND a tecnician I really loved this video, there will maybe better explanaicions of this topic, but no better video about the feeling and what you learn in shows.
You are one of those rare people that become more and more interesting the more you know about them.
Only Lindybeige could keep this crude beer bellied American interested in in tap dancing and cabaret. Well done
You are a truly great entertainer, and you understand the art of it very well.
The more i watch of your videos Mr Lindybeige, the more interesting a person i think you are.
You have more hobbies than sense :)
This channel is getting more and more interesting! I don't even know why or on what video I subscribed but I'll stay!
Mr. Lindybeige, you left me wanting more!
My best RUclips subscription, by far.
i dont completely agree with one statement there.
school acts are a bad idea if the kids are forced to be in it, even more so if they are given a role that they dont like. any play will outright suck once you spotted the artists that dont wanna be there
a school play can be all the better if all the participants love doing it, even completely incapable actors and musicians will impress an audience if they do it enthusiastically
On the other hand, someone who wouldn't have the courage to enter the stage without being forced to do so, can find that he/she is good at performing.
No i think its very important that they force kids into doing them it will help develop their personality greatly
Well I think he's talking more about variety/gang-show/sketch productions than 'serious theatre'....
depends on the age of the kids involved too but basically the director needs to find something suitable for everyone to do - which might include operating the lights
cyberanimealien yes, thank you very much
if you apply force anywhere when educating your children, it is all bound to backfire
chances are great that the kid will grow up to hate it, whatever it is. force a kid to be nice to girls and beat him the fuck up when he is impolite to a woman and you will get a misogynist. force a kid to learn french or russian and he will hate their whole culture, language and nation. force a kid to sit through a lesson on sex ed and you will get a 40 year old virgin. force a kid to wear modest clothes and you will get a punk with a bazillion tattoos, piercings and torn clothing.
it is always the parents that mean the best things that get the most fucked up kids
parents that give their kids freedom will get children that actively choose to do the right things in life.
children cannot be "cool" by rebelling if there is nothing to rebel against.
well i would have to say that one required attendance at early school years would be ok to have the children have sort of an idea of what theater is. its pretty much one more way to have one introduced to something they may eventually like (or not and then they can just avoid it, but more stress placed on the former case).
As for the develops personality quote, I believe there is a reason as to why people say it (not a good one). A student, more often than not, will not have greatly developed the skills he/she is to develop during the rehearsals. Now as the beginning of the development of a skill tends to occur fast, the fact that the skills they develop there are most likely expression related and that they are are influenced by the teachers and other students involved in the production (due to similar interests) pretty much has resulted to that quote
6:57 ok now I REALLY want to see the rest of that THAT show!!!
you can talk shit all you want but Lloyd is one hell of a dancer
this came out at a very interesting time for me, because i just finished a movie called Showboat (the 1930s one) in a class this very same day of release. In one part of it, there was an act not dissimilar to what these people are doing. the movie even highlights the occasional screw up on the stage to give it a more realistic feel, like a door failing to open on the stage or a prop goes missing so the prop guy has to improvise. It was all very interesting
I'm gonna go to random shows in England until i see one with Lindybeige in it.
@6:17
is it Champagne sparkling wine or is it Merit sparkling wine??
I was in a pretty cooperation-light show disguised as a male pageant in high school. The most we had to do was a big opening dance number and then simply be on time and dressed for our separate acts. Still, it is immensely satisfying to be part of a live production and hear the crowd's reaction to your hard work in real time.
Gg RUclips. Not in sub box and not on channel. Fount this from my recommended list
Rampage Chozers Subscribe immediately!!
it takes a bit to get there actually. Up to a hour sometimes.
Soon you will start to watch all his videos, and you would not stop watching!
I am subscribed. youtube wasnt showing it
As a student stage technician, I found this a very entertaining video, and indeed, spotlight operators or any technician for that matter are important ;-)
I think this is one of your best videos, it's interesting, comical, and sort of cute to see a different side to you than spears and shields.
I didn't know this till now: You are a Showman!
I did not expect to see Charles and Iona appear in one of your videos. Small world!
Where has this video been through all of my time watching Lindybeige?!
You just remembered me to live, sir.
Lindybeige you inspire me to feel happy about life.
Where the hell are we going next?
Excellent video, thank you for sharing your life and you are very talented.
You know, I think you genuinely are the most interesting man in the world. lol.
Oh, and Cabaret has never looked so appealing. I might just be a fan now!
Interesting observations, good stuff!
4:27 hahahahahaha I almost spitted my lungs because of this, you are awesome.
Finally, another one of the few men who appreciate both history and theatre!
That was brilliant. I do envy England's culture of amateur and interactive theatre.
I came here for the history videos and stayed for lindys amazing talking skills.
As I have learned from playing shows with my band is that mistakes and unexpected things that happen in the moment make the show so much more memorable
I am currently studying acting in university, and I can confirm that the most important part of performing is just being loose and comfortable. Rehearsal is important obviously, as is experience, but nothing beats just living in your performance. Screw ups happen, but the worst thing you can do is get tight and as Lindy says, just a just show off your skill. The best part of any show is when mistakes happen, and then those actors that are loose and living in it really shine cause they can react and keep going. I'm not the best actor, but that's not important, what's important is living in it and being alive. Showing off a skill is just boring.
I thought your Iliad video would be my favorite from your channel, I must say, this one tops it, and on a topic I only have minimum experience in nonetheless.
Oh, how nice! I really like Swing dancing. I played in a school Bigband and nowadays in my own band we do Jazz Sessions. (Quite oppsite to our usual prog-rock :D) Well, a great thing would be if I ever got to Play at such an event and see so many great people dancing delightfully to the music. Must feel especially rewarding. Wish you the best for future events "post"-covid. 👍
I've only just started watching you and have subscribed to your channel. I'm really impressed with you! You're a man of many talents! I went over to Courses Plus as well on your recommendation. Keep up the good work sir!!!
Nice content Lloyd. I wish I could see you performing once.
Next Week, Lindybeige tells us about his brief Stint as the Ambassador to Romania.
