Working with Artists

Top10 Reasons  Dancers & Other Performing Artists Benefit From Building Psychological  Skills

  • Psychological skills building can be used as an educational tool that helps dancers accelerate their quest for excellence while promoting physical health and emotional well being.
  • Developing a psychological performance program with trained consultant, dancers can effectively practice skills at home, in the studio and on stage.
  • Injured dancers have more time on their hands which can be put to use learning techniques that can be practiced at rest and later converted into safer ways to move.
  • Noncompliance with physical therapies can be addressed as a motivational issue.
  • Good method to work with  during slumps, burnout or off-season  schedule.
  • Programs can be tailored to dancers’  individual needs  and level of motivation.
  • Physical injury may be the “tip of the iceberg,” and while dancers may not be ready to address underlying emotional issues, focusing on a psycho-somatic method with consultant establishes a professional relationship and allows access for future psychological exploration.
  • Rather then becoming depressed and/or anxious about injury,  dancers can engage in mental activity that promotes positive focus, concentration and confidence.
  • While recovering  from debilitating injury dancers can learn empowering methods to improve body awareness and help prevent  re-injury.
