Exposition

Your Stage, Your Sanctuary (2020)

About this exposition

Many musicians, including me had issues with performance anxiety on stage at concerts, auditions and exams. I had the experience myself that I could not control my focus on stage. I played my pieces unconsciously like I was on auto-pilot because of performance anxiety. That was my start position of my research, to find out how to reduce negative stress and turn it into good focus. There should be a way for not only myself - but also every amateur, student or professional musician to make the stage ‘your’ own safe place to be where ‘you’ feel comfortable instead of uneasy and stressed; it has to be ‘your’ sanctuary. There are many researchers who had many ideas to help out that situation. My research was about the mental part of performance anxiety. I tried to find a way for performers to make them much less nervous and stressed on stage. I searched for information in literature and try to confirm it by trying them out myself. I made a survey for musicians in which they could answer questions about performance anxiety. After that, I checked the methods which spoke to me the most and rate it for if it was a good method to use for myself and other people who are working as musicians. The methods that spoke to me the most were Neuro Linguistic Programming, Bullet Journal book method, the 21-day plan from PhD. Don Greene, a Self-learning book from Jon Gorrie “Performing in the Zone” and Reiki. I plan to write a self-reflecting book about my research, to help people in distress. The book would be filled with information, exercises and theories about performance anxiety. It would be a fun book for everyone to have, not too difficult to read and hopefully motivating.
