Everyone in the childish period of time had the magic dreams. And for sure one of them was to become a megastar actor. Usually the children of the former USSR wanted to become a cosmonaut, but I wanted to become an actor of the Hollywood, because if I was the actor, I could be not only the cosmonaut, but a superhero, a famous sportsman or a businessman and so on. But I am not the megastar actor because it was just my childish dream, which pushed me for something more. But even today I sometimes imagine how I would prepare for my play, if I was the actor.
For the beginning I would ask my manager and directors what they expect from me. Therefore I would go to the library and find as much background information as possible about my character. Because before I began to practice my skills, I would have to know theoretically how my character behaves, his hobbies and his preferences. Especially it would be necessary for me to read a lot of psychology related literature due to which I could understand the way of thinking of my character.
The next thing I preferred to do would be living or making some "friends", which are mostly match to my character, because the theory would be not enough to get a good result in playing my character. Therefore I would like to meet a lot with my "friends" and learn from them by following their behavior, guests, and movements. It would be essential for me to know how they answer and what they do at the particular situation. From my personal evaluation, it would be even better to spent time with them, instead of doing readings in the library. At the same time I would ask my art friends for advice if they experienced the same character as mine, because a good advice can lead to a successful result.
And finally I would to go to my colleagues and play for them as a practice, in order to get evaluation from them. And I am sure it would be a perfect performance and I even can imagine that they would ask me how I could achieve those results. And I would share my experience with them and they would share their experience with me. Therefore it would be a matching my experience with my partners, which would satisfy our directors and our team by itself.
So, everyone had his or her dreams in the childish period which could be magic for them or even push for getting something valuable and define their place in the life. I dreamed to become a megastar actor of Hollywood, but I did not have a such opportunity, as a result I could not become the megastar actor. Despite of that I am not disappointed, because it was a kind of push for me to get something more. Not being a cosmonaut does not mean not to be the star.
“Nauriz” is the traditional holiday of Kazakhstan. It is one of the ancient holidays on the planet, which was celebrated more than five thousand years. This holiday was prohibited in the 1926 during the USSR governance. And only in the 1988 year it was revived again. The “Nauriz” was recognized by the UN as an national holiday; the date when the day and the night are equal.
ReplyDeleteThis holiday is a symbol of love, renovation and friendship for Kazakh people. From the ancient times people were cleaning their houses, planting trees and flowers. It was thought that if “Nauriz” comes to the clean house, where live good people, then illnesses and unfortune will pass by that house.
Cloth and invitation guests are an important element too. When this big holiday comes people wear their beautiful traditional cloth and invite each other to their homes by sharing a lot of traditional food. Cloth is usually made of expensive material and covered with unimaginably gorgeous ornaments. Even if people do not go to the somebody’s home they meet in the parks, on squares and say to each other “koktem tudi” which means “spring has come”.
Another thing which is carried out on “Nauriz” are competitions and number “seven”. When Kazakh people celebrate this big event, the number “seven” is required. The week includes seven days, which are the infinite numbers of the universe in the view of Kazakh people. Because of that reason people have to attend seven homes and invite seven guests on this day. Seven is a magic number for the Kazakh people. In addition to this unusual number various competitions are held including horse racing, poem competition, wrestling and others. The most interesting is “Aitis” which means poem competition and is accompanied with “Dombra” - national Kazakh guitar with only two strings. It makes no difference how old are you; anyone can take participation and be the best poet on that day. Only the person who praised the “goodness” at most can win. The “Aitis” is carried out till the sunrise.
So “Nauriz” is quite ancient holiday. It helps to remember our roots and to know who we are and by doing so it helps also to maintain the good relationship between other nationalities, because such holiday plays a key role of forgiveness and understanding each other like an UN which recognized it as an national holiday and as an organization which is for peace and understanding each other.
