'Ultimately it's not what others say about your art, it's what you feel about your art (...) You don't necessarily always need an audience to do your art, or to amplify your art' - @kwamekweiarmah #YVIDemystify
What can we do when you feel like we have so little control of the industry (& the world)?, 'It's about that, about thinking 'what can I do'?, thinking about how can we make the most out of a bad situation' @MuMcC#YVIDemystify#ArtsMinds
'Be the change that you want in the world. Find a way to self-determine (...) Find the thing that is blocking you & try to occupy that land' #YVIDemystify#ArtsMinds
'Life is going to be different when we come out the other end of this, and the people who are thinking about how to contribute are the people who are going to thrive' #YVIDemystify#ArtsMinds#WhatsBlockingYou
There's a strategy for dealing w/ anxiety called the 5-4-3-2-1 method. You just pause & think:
What are 5 things I can see?
4 things I can touch?
3 things I can hear?
2 things I can smell?
1 thing I can taste?
#ArtsMinds was set up particularly to address these concerns, to support performers and creative practitioners in need. Visit their website for more information: artsminds.co.uk
