Loved this flash lesson about stage fright from TED.
Only one remark: when you DO practice being in the spotlight often, which is a great idea, practice with awareness! Repeating something ineffective a thousand times with no changes does more harm than good: it strengthens ineffective neural pathways that will then be harder to rewire.

Standing ovation for Ezio Bosso at the European Parliament. "Great musicians are not those who play the loudest, but those who listen the most. This way, problems become opportunities!"

It’s so important to be authentic, in life and on stage. It truly is one of the factors that makes a difference.

I love how in her TED talk, Erin W**d makes a point that “authentic” is different from “transparent”. Food for the thought!

How can we communicate and connect with each other more authentically? Erin W**d shares a simple formula: Speaking from the head, heart and core. When we dar...

Always a pleasure to work with Cal Performances and their Artistic Literacy program. Glad to see so much commitment in our participants, and so many “aha!-moments” while experiencing a hands on evocation process. Thank you also to Maestro John Luther Adams for bringing so much value to our experience! And of course, to Keren Rosenbaum, for composing many of the etudes we performed in this occasion!

From one of my mentors Alyssa Aubrey: horses teaching humans the art of leadership

As human beings, we rarely look to the animal kingdom for tips on how we might live better. That is, unless, like me, you happen to be a human who works closely with animals in their natural surroundings. As many of you know, I work with horses and have observed how they interact and how they live h...

Pioneer of Equine Assisted Learning in the U.S., Barbara Rector is an endless source of wisdom. I am sharing this quote, taken from her book "Adventures in Awareness", because it's so relevant to performing artists! Let go of how you think you SHOULD be and accept who you ACTUALLY ARE; only then your creative expression will be free and authentic! This Mustang Life Photography

What can an Artist Development session at the barn look like? What can the take-aways be for your life in the performing arts, from an experience with a herd of horses? Here's a story from a professional clarinetist who came to practice Peak Performance, while preparing for a competition

“Arriving at the ranch, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I have worked with Giorgia in the past — without horses — and was excited to see what new process she would take me through to help me open up and specifically tackle the stresses of performance. Since I had worked with her before, and I had a co...

"Seeing this physical response after releasing all of the preparedness and perfection of the notes and focusing purely on the music was truly a shift of thought in my part. I have always practiced getting in the zone when preparing for stressful performance experiences, but visually seeing the horse's reflection of the mood that I portrayed is something unique and unlike any other performance practice experience.

Taking this on stage with me is an interesting process. The comfort I have when I improvise is now easier to access"
