Stage Presence: Part One
Teaching stage presence for performers has long stumped professionals throughout the arts. Some teachers bemoan that it just isn’t something you can learn, you either have it or you don’t. Some students choose dance styles where they don’t have to smile as if that will solve their stage presence problem.
Research conducted with audiences demonstrate that 80% of the time they would rather see a dancer with good stage presence than one with excellent technique who looks uncomfortable on the stage. Even knowing this, as teachers we spend 95% of our time on technique. Our work on stage presence sometimes just consists of saying “ok, this time when we run through it make sure to smile.”
In Part One of this two part class, we will draw from sports psychology and cognitive behavioral therapy to explore the ways you can teach students to improve their stage presence through techniques that focus on the Mind, Body, and achieving a state of Flow.
