| Abstract | Stagefright. The very word causes many to shudder. Yet most authorities now agree that unless a performer experiences stagefright to some degree, his or her performance will almost certainly seem hollow and lifeless. Most people who suffer form stagefright don't understand how to direct its energy and use it to their advantage. Lacking this knowledge, they try to overcome their fear by rigidly containing their thoughts, feelings, and movements. The author urges stagefright victims to give up their protective measures and voluntarily enter the block of stagefright. In doing so, one can move through the block to the new and positive qualities which await the performer on the other side. Step by step he describes this fascinating process, showing how nervous tensions can be transformed into productive energy and feelings of joyous self-assurance for the performer. |
