What Is My Responsibility As A Teacher?
How can I meet unspecified expectations beyond my training?
We are often called on as teachers and educators to be all things to all people, to be of psychological support, even when that is not something that comes with the job. This class is a space to explore the demands of the role, to share experience and knowledge in a supportive space, in order to gain a better understanding of what can be expected of us, and should not, outlining boundaries and giving ourselves permission to say no.

Developing and maintaining a capacity for peak performance is hugely demanding. In sport, there are often whole teams of therapists and coaches dedicated to helping players fulfil their potential. In the professional world of performing arts, such support structures are often lacking and we may have to seek out our own mentors, coaches and therapists of our own. There is a lot we can learn to do for ourselves to ensure a fulfilling and sustainable career lies ahead of us. We can develop greater resilience, a greater capacity to care for ourselves effectively and we can keep our creative self well-fuelled. These classes focus on building the necessary personal and interpersonal skills and resources to do this.
