Nerves can be good, because they mean that you care! But what if the body and mind are working against you and overrides your logical brain so you or your student can’t perform to the best ability? The flight, fight, freeze response is very useful when we are under attack from a real threat and have to decide in a millisecond what the right response is, however can be really debilitating if the threat is an audience or an audition!
This session aims to give the participants the knowledge and understanding of what happens in the body when performance anxiety hits and practical tools on how to help cope and manage it and achieve optimal performance.
