This Course: What is it? Who is it for?

THIS COURSE

Who is this for?
This course is for career-focused performing artists and is specifically intended for these three groups:
early career professional performing artists
aspiring professionals and students
mid-career professionals who might feel stuck and for whom a refocusing would be helpful

A survey course.
This is a survey course to help set you up for success and happiness on this wild ride. It is a potent course of 30+ years of lessons learned both the easy and hard ways, from my experiences and the experiences of people in my network of industry peers. This is not an acting, singing, dance, or performance class. This course is designed to empower you to take your craft, training, and experience and guide you toward turning that into a thriving career. We will address a broad array of topics. Many of the topics we’ll cover will become stand-alone courses where there will be the opportunity to go into one topic with much greater depth. After this survey course, you will know what you need to really dig into, and I’d love to hear from you. Telling me what deeper dives would be most helpful for you will inform which ones I make and release first. I want you to have what you need. This course is a solid start.

A holistic view.
I’d like to define the lens through which I hope you’ll view this course. It is addressing your career, yes, but you have a whole life that you’re creating and living. This is a holistic course that will address your life as a whole. Your life is a prism and your career is only one facet, but put all those facets together, shine a light, and they make a beautiful rainbow.

Personal stories.
Throughout, I have personal stories to share with you of both my successes and failures and I will share with you what I learned through them.
