Workshop: Improve Stage Performance and Alleviate Stage Anxiety: The HeartMath® Way
with Shamir S. Ladhani

At this workshop you will learn scientifically validated HeartMath® techniques that have been proven to enhance stage performance, overcome stage anxiety and enable you to reset and rejuvenate after an intense performance so you can get a good night’s rest.

SYNOPSIS: As an actor or a performer, you know that your character is brought to life by emotions you induce on stage. Did you know that when you create these emotions, the impact on your body is exactly the same as if you were experiencing these off-stage? When your character requires you to create anger, your body begins to trigger a chain of 1400 chemical responses. These responses could potentially result in release of stress hormones, suppression of immune functioning, cortical inhibition (forgetting lines) and so on. Your body is not able to distinguish between stage anger and off-stage anger and therefore you pay the price off-stage.

At this workshop, you will learn how your body responds to emotions so you can better prepare yourself for auditions, performances and for resetting your body’s biology after your emotional-charged performance. All you need to know are two things: a) how to breathe and b) how to create emotions on demand. Well Thespian, isn’t this something you do already?
