Episode Description
We all know that as performing artists we are expected to perform whilst others are watching. Well our students arguably have it worse. From their perspective, they have to perform whilst others watch and assess their performance for grading, admissions, competitions and the like. Ok, professionals have it bad too but we are teachers so we have to focus on the kiddies.
The thing about artistic performance is that it is qualitative and experiential, making measurement of techniques used to focus for performance quite tricky. This is where sport is helpful, because there is usually a points system that is undeniably quantitative. So today we are going to take a look at a study of focusing techniques as trialed on soccer players kicking goals and hopefully we can draw a few lessons that can help our students to better focus when they are performing under pressure.
