Conscious breathing is the most important tool for reducing performance anxiety and its symptoms. Conscious breathing supports us in the totality of our lives. Once we consciouly partner with the breathm, we are able to address any internal or external challenge that comes our way. Conscious Performing...from fear to freedom by Sally Bonkrude
I believe that truly great performances happen when we release the tensions and constrictions in the body through movement. When this happens we are able to present uninhibited, free, body centered and breathfilled performances. Conscious Performing...from fear to freedom by Sally Bonkrude
Music bypasses the need for language and moves directly into accessing the parts of us we cannot otherwise communicate. Every sound you make vibrates every organ in your body. Singing, chanting, humming and voicing all have a powerful effect on our whole body system. Sound relaxes the thinking mind, harmonizes our mind-body-spirit, and helps to release tension." Conscious Performing...from fear to freedom by Sally Bonkrude
We think we're in control and have the ability to create the perfect performance. Yet, being in control will never "make" a great performance happen. Control only creates tension, anxiety, and fear. Instead, it's about allowing flow, improvising in the moment, connecting to the needs of our audience, and meeting our audience with love and compassion. This is an important key to conscious performing. Conscious Performing...from fear to freedom by Sally Bonkrude
