Before The First

In 2020, many people encountered online performance for the first time. “Before the first” is a brief glimpse of the diversity of online performance created before 2020. My first online performance was in 2001 when I performed a character I called Paycheck, a (terrible) performance poet, who did standup in the Firebirdz Palace of The Palace. "Before the first" was compiled by Annie Abrahams, Helen Varley Jamieson and Suzon Fuks. Edited by Suzon Fuks.

Really enjoyed your reflection on the journey before the first — that initial phase of exploration often teaches us the most. It reminded me how preparation and support systems behind the scenes make all the difference, just like how Outsourcing Telehealth Billing Services can transform healthcare practices by easing administrative burdens and improving focus on core goals. Great read!

Really appreciated the thoughtful reflection shared in this post. The journey before the first step is often the most important, and it’s inspiring to see that moment explored so honestly. Stories like this remind us how preparation shapes confidence and growth. For those also following current updates, Rajpal Yadav bail hearing has been a widely discussed topic on Flypped News.
