Prepare For The Future Performing Artist
I work with performing artists from their early days in the arts to advanced professional levels. I observe how their positive and negative mental patterns and coping skills develop over time, affecting them more as they age. When they reach college and early professional levels, some patterns start to weigh them down. Because these patterns develop gradually, those of us supporting artists don’t notice them until they seriously affect the artist’s mental well-being and performance.
That's where The Future Performing Artist Trends series can help colleges, conservatories, and professional companies prepare to develop the future performing artist.
