Using The Chimp Model
in Performing Arts
Using The Chimp Model in Performing Arts
Performing on stage can be one of the most incredibly rewarding experiences. However, as a performer standing in the wings about to go on stage, you will probably have experienced some of the following: shaky hands, feeling sick, trembling voice and a voice inside your head saying why do you keep putting yourself through this? For some performers, this is all part of their preparation and they step out onto the stage and perform brilliantly, but for many, these feelings can really get in the way of them being able to tap into their talent and perform at their best.
We use The Chimp Model to help performers gain insight into their unique minds and help them develop practical tools and techniques to manage their thoughts, feelings and behaviours more effectively. This can be focused on areas such as: Performance anxiety Preparing for auditions Managing rejection Getting the best out of your practice sessions Struggling with the pressure of expectation Improving confidence Developing mental resilience
