NOA KAGEYAMA: So there
are things that we
need to do to be able to
learn more effectively.
JEFF HUBER: If you know what you're
going to be doing and you have a plan
and when you get there
you're not suddenly
watching everybody else
perform, you're not
being distracted-- because the only
thing you can control is yourself.
NOA KAGEYAMA: Not only does that voice
or the series of voices in our head
tend to be distracting, which
can disrupt a performance.
But sometimes it even
makes us start trying
to control too much of what our
body already knows what it can do.
JENNIFER MONTONE: Hopefully grow more
and feel less encumbered by my own mind
and more free to be more expressive.
NOA KAGEYAMA: Learning what it
means to focus and how to focus
and how to stay there
throughout a performance
so that we don't get in our own way.
