WORK THE STAGE


to Command Your Performance
(No matter what kind of stage you are performing on)
Learn use of the space...
Develop your power dynamics & onstage relationships... and
Manage the invisible lines of energy
between you and your audience (or with the band, or fellow performers...
...for a compelling performance and greater satisfaction

It's not only about the steps, or how you move your body.

To command your performance, you need to command the air, the lines of sight to the audience, and the whole space.


Most dancers only practice on the floor space they are covering with their steps… they have a method for choreo but they don’t have a strategy for how they will use the whole space, including the air we are all breathing! 


Having a method for dealing with the air and the space as a whole can make a surprising difference in how you are perceived by the audience.


Would you like to appear stronger as a performer and dancer, even beyond your level of experience, just by using the space well? 


Maybe you have practiced for a show, and then found when you arrived that the performance space was either larger or smaller than what you expected (and had practiced for)? Did it make you feel or look awkward? 

 

Or, you performed with a live band and realized you had no idea how to relate to them visually or spatially… because you were only thinking about the music they were playing?  Did you fully claim your strength when you danced with them, or did you feel a little small?


Many workshops teach how to dance, even to dance with the music.

Work the Stage will teach you how to apply movements, steps and musicality to actually claim POWER on the stage when you dance. Power within your dance, and power in your relationship with the audience.


Work the Stage offers a bold and powerful way of thinking about how you set your performance in any space. It includes choreography, yet it goes way beyond choreography.

Try the innovative tips in this program for your next performance, or even in class! 


You will develop a fresh relationship with your dance and feel more in control of your performances.



What's included:

Practical tools for creating floor patterns and choreography so you can maximize the power areas of the stage, on the ground and in the air of the space

Practical tools for creating an "energy web" of your space to pull in and keep your audience's attention, using intention, eye gaze, and muscle engagement

Breakdown of how to set your piece appropriately for a variety of spaces: theater stage, restaurant/club, or even less formal settings, to make sure you are in the strongest position to command the space

Techniques for adapting to online stages using webcam and phone, to make the audience feel your power and presence, even when it's a video

Recordings of the interactive workshops, so you can practice the exercises in your own space along with the videos (to magnetize an audience using physical and breathwork tools)

"My teacher recommended you to me when I asked for guidance on building stage presence before my most recent performance. Your recorded programs were a huge help while prepping for that show... I used Raise Your Stage Presence and Work the Stage to prepare for my recent show. I was super nervous... but I managed to make eye contact with the audience and interact with them a lot more than I had before. Everything has been absolutely amazing so far; thank you for creating such wonderfully insightful content!"

NERD ABOUT PERFORMANCE?

Add Nerd Clinic: Perceptual & Cognitive Factors in Performance for $27 (regularly $47): lifetime access
When the audience sees you onstage, before you even start dancing, they are already forming opinions of you in their minds. Get out ahead of their impressions: with knowledge, and with a strategy to boost your standing and minimize the glitches, in the audience's eyes.

As I'm sure you know, dancers are not only judged on their dancing. But we do have ways to short-circuit the audience's impressions, and give them and ourselves a better experience in our performances. 

This program integrates the research I did in cognitive psychology during my master's program (completed in 2015) with performance concepts I've been coaching dancers on for many years. 

You'll indulge your inner dance nerd with this scholarly and practical online program. 

And you'll gain a real advantage in learning how to hide mistakes and put your best self out there!
