Self Regulation for Praxis

Overview

Today, the artist’s work and ability to use his potential more efficiently cannot be explained by education, discipline and regular rehearsal. Research conducted in the field of Neuroscience in Performing Arts has opened a whole new page in neuroscience on creativity, artist psychology, performer and audience dynamics.

As performers, there are moments when we feel like we have no control when there is an inconsistency in our performance or a blockage in the creative process. We have a new understanding on these performance problems and burnout syndromes which are frequently seen in performers. While this work teaches the artist how to use his emotional history safely and actively, it offers a new body awareness, breathing mechanism, a wide range of emotions and sensations.

FOR WHOM?

This work is for professional performing artists (actors, musicians i.e.),educators and future performing artists whom are still continue education.

OPTIONS

You can get one-on-one counseling for this work especially when you are practicing for a piece or an audition, or you can request a workshop for your company or educational institution.

Cause

In the practice, I offer you tools to help you discover clues from where you are limited or blocked by unconscious (habitual) gestures, limited expressions, fixed postures.

• These patterns may be traces of past traumatic experiences and conflicting emotions. Particularly in acting, vicarious trauma can be the case behind blockage because performer go through the bodily experiences of the character.
• By working with the artist and the holding pattern based on movement and somatics, we try to find out what hinders the depth and originality of the performance. The exploration here allows the artist to make adjustments to help naturally change his breathing and movement. After these gentle interventions, the improvement and change in the performance we work with can be drastically observed.
