A lil bit too hot....
The performance room was HOT. I mean it was steaming. Residents were just finishing up their yoga for the morning and I was set to play directly afterward in the same room with about 30 residents in there already. The windows were even opened a crack and it was STILL hot...For the first time at this community, I commented on the astoundingly hot room and jokingly requested (to the staff) that I sit by the cracked window.
I looked at the activity director and spoke in a whisper so residents couldn't hear me , "Holy cow it's a sauna in there". (big smile on my face) "I'm pretty sure I'll melt if I sit down anywhere other than next to that window I see is opened. (big smile on my face)
She agreed that it was hot and wheeled some residents and shuffled around a few chairs quickly to accommodate my request.The show went well and I sat comfortably next to the big window and sang and played and everyone had a great time.
When you find yourself in a room that feels uncomfortable, talk to the staff and mention a solution with your comment. Be kind and smile and ask with sincerity. Sometimes there isn't any other option and you need to deal with it. What you DON'T want to do is call attention to this in front of the residents during the show. Don't EVER complain about the environment to the residents-even in joking. Don't complain about anything to the residents. Always go to the staff if you have concerns about the room or about anything at all☀️😃❤️
