So after a lot of thought process and search, I came up with several ideas that will hopefuly lead me to the ONE  that captures my main target, THE PSYCHOLOGY OF A PERFORMER.

Answering the questions I bloged about earlier and looking through other blogs has lead me to the following thoughts and questions.

I realised that as a performer there is much more I can give and do in order to succeed; for example, I can build my contacts, go to classes more often, contact my agent regularly etc. The question is HOW can we Fulfil our goals? A dancer, singer, actress can develop and improve by learning new skills, by practising on an every day basis, by challenging themselves etc. but even if they are on top of their game that IS STILL NOT ENOUGH.

In order to attract a Casting Director, a Choreographer, an Agent or even the Audience you need much more than a high kick, or a good voice. You need to be able to CAPTURE THE ATTENTION with your PERSONALITY.

So many untalented or not very technical people make it in the industry, just by using their Persona to draw the attention. By saying that, these people also KNOW WHAT THEY WANT and this is one of the reasons of their SUCCESS. I'm not talking about people that achieved what they have through machination, but those who managed to 'rich the top' by themselves, through THEIR PASSION.

What I want to say is; by KNOWING YOURSELF as a Performer then you can freely show off your skills, talent, personality and at the same time BE CONFIDENT. You can MAKE PEOPLE LOVE YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE.

I hope I didn't confuse you with all these thoughts but I'm sure everything will make much more sense once I place my questions.

1. Why is our Psychology so important before/during/after an audition?

2. Have you ever imagined how your life would be if you got that 'dream job' ?

3. Why are you keep trying to achieve something which is more impossible than possible when you know that most of the time you will get rejected, therefore be unhappy?

These are some questions that popped into my head and will lead me into finding my Professional Inquiry. Please comment and tell me your thoughts.

The second part of my thinking process rised through a discussion I had with friends about how to achieve what I've always dreamed of in my Professional Practice.

Here are some thoughts I came up with:










Task 4a

Attending the Campus Session last Thursday was (as always) very helpful. We raised questions through our Professional Practice and discussed our ideas and thoughts. It's astonishing how many enquiries and opinions have been raised as well as how critical and opinionated everyone was.

Here is the first thinking process I had:
