The Beauty Of Being Perfectly Imperfect

The Beauty Of Being Perfectly Imperfect

Showing our humanity makes performances special

09.10.2023

At Beyond Repair Entertainment we embrace the extraordinary, the quirky and the beautifully imperfect. In a world obsessed with flawlessness, we prefer dancing to a different tune, one that celebrates the unique tapestry of originality that make us truly remarkable.

That means we’re happy to be silly and make mistakes, knowing that it’s all part of the process. We believe great performances are about how you connect with your audience. How you use your voice and body and expression to make them feel. When we attempt to make that fit some ideal of perfection, we do ourselves a disservice by censoring the raw, unfiltered part of the creative journey that helps us elevate our craft.

However, In the pursuit of excellence, artists can often find themselves entangled in the web of professionalism. The pressure to conform to market demands, meet commercial expectations, and achieve critical acclaim can stifle the creative spirit. It’s natural for audiences to expect every note sung and every step to be flawless, but the unspoken truth is that the most special moments come from a willingness to embrace our imperfections. It’s noticeable when a voice breaks because the lyrics feel particularly poignant or when the power of the story causes a slight tremble and it’s these incredible, human moments of vulnerability that truly raise the bar.

And when you witness such a performance, it’s the unexpected parts of the performance that make it memorable because real artistry can’t be manufactured. When artists have the confidence to reveal their genuine selves, flaws and all, we remind those watching us to accept that we are all beautifully broken, yet undeniably whole. Yes, professionalism is important, but it doesn’t mean you have to be perfect, unblemished and immaculate. In fact, it’s all the ‘ugly’ parts that make things interesting.

Our experiences give our performances depth. They allow us to tap into a deeper part of our psyches, broaden our spectrum of understanding and bring something truly unique to every performance. When we are being our real selves we make songs, routines and roles are own, creating one-of-a-kind performances that only we can deliver. Every artist’s journey will be shaped by encounters and events that they experience in their own way, and they channel a bit of their authentic story into every performance.

That’s the magic.

It lies in the cracks and corners that make us uniquely human. The jagged edges and unexpected turns create the most captivating stories and art, in its purest form, is an unfiltered reflection of the human experience. When we shed the layers of pretence, we invite others to do the same. Our vulnerability becomes a catalyst for connection, understanding, and acceptance. And then, our art becomes a universal language, a bridge that unites hearts and minds, reminding us of our shared humanity.

The name Beyond Repair comes from a book written by renowned philosopher and novelist, Mitch Albom, which reminds that we all bear the marks of life’s twists and turns. We champion these irregularities because it’s what makes our work unapologetically real. Professionalism might give us a platform to share our creativity with the world, but it’s our humanity that breathes life into our art. Let’s celebrate our flaws, laugh while we bare our souls and keep being honestly, messily, beautifully human.
