Despite a lack of props, a sturdy stage, costumes, despite a blank canvas where the set should have been, lacking the color of the scene, she stood and spoke over an empty room lacking in listening ears, thundering applause, attentive eyes; she spewed a slew of words, words that rose and fell with powerful gestures, words that carried over a vacant room, an empty space, words that rang out and echoed in a room free from critics, disapproval, and judgment, free from distractions, hacking interruptions, and children crying for attention; despite all this, she gave her best performance.

[[Notice that the three parts are equal and dependent (similar to "I came; I saw; I conquered").  The middle one refreshes the movement by reversing the value of "despite" (despite good things).]]

 

The core sentence = “She stood and spoke; she spewed; she gave.”

 

Despite            a lack of          props,

a sturdy stage,

costumes,

despite             a blank canvas where the set should have been,

lacking             the color of the scene,

she stood and spoke over an empty room

lacking in         listening ears,

thundering applause,

attentive eyes;

 

she spewed a slew of

words,

words that rose and fell with powerful gestures,

words that carried over           a vacant room,

an empty space,

words that rang out and echoed in a room

free from         critics,

disapproval, and

judgment,

free from         distractions,

hacking interruptions, and

children crying for attention;

 

despite all this, she gave her best performance.
