The Alive Coaching Phenomena
The Art in Flow
Flow is the mental state of being completely present, when nerves dissipate and a performer is immersed in a feeling of energized hyperfocus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the creative performance.
When in flow, creativity peaks. The creator and the universe become one, outside distractions recede from consciousness, and one’s mind is fully open and curiously attuned to the act of creating.
This omniscience, or ‘oneness’ of being actively ‘in the zone’ of a creative flow state is a positive performance psychology encompassing neuroplasticity with deep play, focusing on felt sense and ritual shortcuts to inspiration.
Performance Art in flow (unconscious competence) is the personification of an artist’s total confidence in their artistry and craft.
The Business of Show
Preparing for a career in the Business of Show is a trip. Of a lifetime. It requires an imaginative plan with vital ingredients. The Artist Manifesto informs our sense of where we’re headed and The Actor’s Essential Tool Kit helps us get there.
The Artist Manifesto is our principal vision statement of intent, motivation and affirmation. A self-authored declaration of artistic ideals that may contain beliefs, aspirational goals, mission statements, and personal wisdom, all purposed to rouse action oriented ambition and encourage destiny manifestation.
The Actors Essential Tool Kit, inventoried and equipped to empower career options contains practical instruments utilized within the entertainment industry on a daily basis – agents, managers, casting directors, production companies, studios, resumes, headshots, biographies, websites – a vast network of vital ingredients to help achieve and sustain meaningful career success within The Business of Show.
The Craft in Process
The preparation for performance (Art in Flow) is our practical approach, or process. The series of actions or steps we exercise within process are uniquely individual to every artist and evolve exponentially over the course of a career.
Cultivating confident mastery of techniques motivates more self-reliant trust in our process. Artists become inspired to foster a deeper sense of their original, creative, imaginative spirit which increases presence, power, charisma and range as an actor.
The craft of skillfully breaking down a script, researching characters and bringing them to life, line learning, scene study, audition preparedness, physical and mental rehearsal exercises – everything is preparation so we can get to the point of letting go and living in the moment (Art in Flow) and is the very essence of The Craft in Process.
