Hi, I am a theater maniac, have been in MANY plays and shows, so I have had my share of stage fright, follow my 3 step plan and it will help, ALOT.

  1. get to the theater early, it will give you time to relax and get ready
  2. once you are in your costume and your make-up is done, lie on the floor and take deep breaths, you will feel sily, but it will help
  3. stay positive, saying things like "i cant do this" or "i suck" wont help at all
  4. get pumped, before going onstage make up a cheer with your friends to get yourself pumped
  5. when you are onstage, NEVER look the audience in the eye, it will only freek you out, look above their heads

This has worked for me many times.

How can a boy overcome fear of wearing stage tights even for a conventional actor's costume or in a dance class?

The reasons a boy or man may have against wearing tights for stage or dance will be personal to himself. This part of the answer is for the boy or man who is asking himself why he has such an anxiety. The first step is to realize the anxiety itself is the problem, because tights are widely worn by males in the performing arts, it is totally acceptable. Schools are now doing musicals such as "Cats" where almost all the cast wears unitards, which are tights for the whole body, including boys as well as girls. The show is improved by the mix of both boys and girls.

Ismene conflict by antigone to bury her brother?

In "Antigone," Ismene's conflict arises from her fear of defying King Creon’s orders, which prohibit the burial of their brother Polynices. While Antigone is determined to honor their brother by performing the burial rites, Ismene initially refuses to join her, prioritizing obedience to the law and concern for her own safety. This tension highlights the struggle between individual moral duty and societal rules, ultimately showcasing Ismene's internal struggle between loyalty to her family and her fear of the consequences of rebellion.
