sweaty palms and breathlessness
Sharing our ideas and our writing in public is an act of vulnerability: in these moments, we are fully open to the world. Stripped bare, we offer not just our words, but our very selves. And this can be a challenge.
This immersive workshop is expressly designed to prepare folks for public events: presentations, literary festivals or events, conferences, interviews, concerts, media appearances, and more. Developed to address the common anxieties that often accompany important presentations or public events, this workshop is based on my extensive experience as a classical musician who has performed for small and large audiences in North America, Europe, and Japan. It is based on a series of five principles and offers a number of concrete tools that will support participants not only in their preparations, but in developing further skills of their own.
This workshop works best in person, but can, if necessary, be adapted to an online format.
