PERFORMANCE PSYCHOLOGY
Calling all actors, artists, and musicians!
Performance is an aspect of any artistic endeavour; stepping onto a stage or sharing your work with the public requires massive amounts of creative energy and the courage to be vulnerable with others. As you move through your day, we can help you tackle the doubts and struggles that all artists face.
Reasons to utilize performance psychology
We work with performers by helping them overcome emotional and mental barriers that may interfere with their peak performance.
Decrease performance anxiety
Performance anxiety is a common issue that people experience before a big show. It's not just about being nervous and scared to perform, but it's also about the fear of failure. Being able to identify this feeling and understand what causes it can help you overcome your performance anxiety so you can perform at your best.
Increase confidence and self-esteem
Strengthen emotional control
Being able to maintain a state of emotional control is one of the most important skills you can have as a performer. It's equally as important for performers to be able to keep their cool and improvise when unexpected situations arise. If you want to be an effective performer, being able to control your emotional responses is key.
Your creativity is your superpower
