Yes absolutely. We have had a lot of performers who have attended tell us how much it has helped. The course will help you to control emotions, and to make sure that you do not cross the line between the good stress that you need to do your best and the bad stress that robs you of the chance to fulfil your potential.
[/spb_toggle] [spb_toggle title=”I love acting but I find the career ‘path’ of being an actor almost impossible to cope with. Will Mind Fitness help?” open=”false” width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”]
One of our key aims is to help people to the point where they enjoy being a performer and help them to cope with all aspects, not just the glorious moments when they are on stage. The course gives the tools to build resilience, to control stress, recognise opportunities and stay positive.
[/spb_toggle] [spb_toggle title=”Do you only do the 1-day workshop or could we book you for a longer project?” open=”false” width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”]
When we go into Drama Schools or work with companies it can be for a longer project. This is usually an intensive Wellbeing Week or weekly sessions with various groups over the course of a term.
[/spb_toggle] [spb_toggle title=”I am worried that with a lot of performers there it will get competitive. Does this happen?” open=”false” width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”]
Every performer who has taken part has commentated on the supportive environment created through the day. Many have said that this is one of the strongest aspects of the course.
[/spb_toggle] [spb_toggle title=”Is Mind Fitness something I have to keep doing to feel the benefit?” open=”false” width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”]
The longer you do it for the more benefit you feel. There is a six-week follow-up programme in the workbook, by which time it will be embedded in your daily routines. And the Mind Fitness programme is designed to fit into the busiest of lives. Ten minutes a day is all you need and we guarantee that you will save that (and much more) with your more focused thinking.
[/spb_toggle] [spb_toggle title=”Does the Mind Fitness programme work for people with special needs?” open=”false” width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”]
Yes absolutely. The MF team is trained to work with people of all abilities and disabilities and all exercises can be adapted. Please let us know if you feel you would benefit from additional support.
[/spb_toggle] [spb_toggle title=”I have been wanting to come but cannot find anyone to come with me. Would I be OK if I came on my own?” open=”false” width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”]
Over half the people who come to the course come on their own. There is always a supportive atmosphere with the dynamic of an attentive ensemble.
[/spb_toggle] [spb_toggle title=”Can I come to one of the performers sessions if I am not a performer?” open=”false” width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”]
We have had people who have been agents and directors. It doesn’t really matter what profession you are, as long a you know that all examples used with exercises will be performer related.
[/spb_toggle] [spb_toggle title=”Do I need to wear comfortable clothes?” open=”false” width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”]
Certainly, we want you to feel comfortable, but it does not need to be clothes you would wear for physical exercise.
