All performers experience nervousness, whether first time performer or seasoned pro. We get nervous to perform in new spaces or show new work. We’re also vulnerable to distraction--something unexpected happens with your music cue or costume, or there’s someone in the audience you’re thinking about impressing. In this workshop, we’ll learn tools to tame nerves and build stage presence. Participants will come in with a simple sequence they feel very comfortable with, and we’ll explore exercises to maintain mental clarity and focus on stage.

Colin Creveling and Nina Sawant have been performing together for the last 3 years in the San Francisco Bay Area and abroad with the Vespertine Circus (Rocky Horror Circus Show, High Tide) and Cirque du Boheme (Et Apres at the Festival D’Avignon 2019). They have each been performing for over ten years and share a passion for storytelling through contemporary circus. They are excited to bring an offering of adult and youth workshops to schools across the US this spring 2020.
