We’re kicking off a new content series, “Artist Ask”, answering this question: what do I do during a panic attack? It’s paramount that our artistic community be equipped in ways to combat challenging moments like these — this industry is hard, but our artists are strong. 2/4

If you’ve worked in the performance industry, you’ve been there — stomach dropping, palms sweating, mind racing — just before an important moment. Is it only jitters, or something more? Are you having a panic attack? 1/4

Think about different ways you can bring empathy to the artistic spaces you inhabit. Maybe it’s in the way you encourage your cast to take 5 mindful minutes before starting rehearsal. Maybe it’s by honoring your anxiety before an audition with gentle breathing and positive affirmations. 3/4

Broadway Mental Health Foundation @mentalhealthbway.org · 15/11/2024

Without empathy, and the mental and emotional health that comes with it, the art of live theatre ceases to exist. It’s the very fabric that makes our art form so special. How do we expect theatre to survive without an empathetic community? Without that, how long do we have? 2/4

Empathy is a driving force within the human experience. The art of performance IS the human experience. Why does this industry sometimes feel like empathy is out of reach? 1/4

Unfortunately, these teachings can also include the archaic principles and mindsets of the industry — it takes a toxic mindset to thrive in a toxic industry. 3/5
