Are you feeling stuck in your attempts to make art or perform in these times of pandemic, environmental and political madness? Does it seem like your life is on pause as you grieve a way of life that no longer exists and you’re scrambling to find a path forward?
I get it. This time sucks for you. . . but believe it or not, your work is more important than ever.
Performance Coach and Certified Hypnotherapist, Holly Shaw, who has mentored hundreds of artists and shared her work with thousands through her Amazon bestselling book, The Creative Formula, delivers groundbreaking and original insights into your fear, your shadows, and what makes you, as an artist and performer, a brilliant agent of change.
In this book, you’ll learn how to:
- Create a partnership with your fear and your shadow selves - the Outlaw, the Rebel, and the Fabulist - so they become an asset to your creativity instead of a detriment or a distraction.
- Re-direct your energy into creating, connecting with your audience, and becoming a powerful agent of change.
- Connect with your audience and create in the virtual world so you can finally show up fully to perform the work you’re here on this planet to do, whether you’re connecting to one single person or a million.
- Avoid the mistakes that keep even famous people feeling too frozen and small to face the world.
- Use what you already know as an artist - about tension, vulnerability, creativity - to take on the unique challenges of our time and make art now.
- Discover the real meaning of stage fright and its uncanny parallel to trance states - and learn how that relates to your power as a performer, creative and artist.
This book is a call to all artists, performers, speakers, and limelight seekers to wake up and chart a path forward not by running from or suppressing fear, but by learning to work with it to create something new.
In a clear effective way, this book will uncover the systems that are running you, how they operate, and how you can dislodge yourself from the fear-trance in order to start using your energy to be a powerful force on stage, in your content and online.
