If only I could get rid of my nerves...
​
We’re all familiar with the symptoms of performance anxiety: racing heart, shaky voice, shallow breaths, negative thinking, tight muscles…the list goes on! Whether we audition and perform regularly, deliver public presentations at work or school, or need to navigate difficult conversations, wouldn’t it just be easier if we could get rid of the nerves?!
The bad news: Your nerves aren’t going anywhere.
Our bodies are really smart and biologically wired to protect us. Symptoms of performance anxiety (racing heart, tight muscles) are one way that your body is trying to help you out in a stressful situation.
The good news: There are SO MANY ways to navigate nerves!
Embodied Auditions is all about equipping people with practical tools that help us speak our body’s language. When we understand the stress response and how it shows up for us, we can start to build skills that shift us from a state of fear to a state of safety.
When we can signal safety to our bodies in a felt way (not just an intellectual way), we have space to do what we do best as performers: express, communicate, connect.
Build confident audition experiences based in self-trust.
You are a whole human showing up to an audition, with thoughts, feelings, and experiences that make your audition experience unique. What would it feel like to go into an audition knowing that you can fully trust yourself? That you have everything you need to meet the moment?
Join us for Embodied Auditions, and grow your toolkit of practical, holistic skills that support you as a whole, capable, creative person.
