pre-performance rituals!
monica kay started this discussion ·
lets start a thread on pre-performance rituals! What do you do before a show to calm your nerves? What do you do before a show to warm up and stretch? What do you eat or drink- or do you avoid eating and drinking? Do you watch any inspirational videos or listen to any particular song or music to pump you up?? Prayers? Meditation? Lucky underwear? :D I like to include glitter in my makeup! Glittery makeup and shiney costumes really make me feel like a performer. I warm up with some yoga and mild stretching. I remind myself to be prepared to improvise if necessary and have a plan B trick or move if plan A doesn't work out. I also remind myself to do my best and remember that the audience is on my side (that makes my nervous butterflys flutter away). I don't eat too much because a full belly makes me fatigued and I allow myself only a half shot of something alcoholic if my nerves are out of control. Videos of Felix Cane really help get me in the zone. What about you guys?
