Finding Clarity in Performance

TLSU have secured £9,700 of funding from The National Lottery through ‘Awards For All’ to launch a pilot project to support the health and wellbeing of student performers at Trinity Laban Conservatoire.

It will be run by practitioners Nick Bottini and Robin Lockhart. The project aims to help 15 students have an easier relationship with performance through achieving a simpler relationship with their own headspace. Students from every faculty and any year are welcome to apply to join the project. It will involve an initial taster day, three day-long workshops as well as two smaller group sessions and individual support and coaching.
 
What follows are some questions to see if this project is something that would benefit you. The questions have been written by Nick and Robin who will be running the project. Please feel free to answer in as much detail as you like, we will make sure all responses remain confidential and will only be reviewed by Nick, Robin and the TLSU sabbatical team.
