✨Rest in Performance Prep✨

We CANNOT actively be working on music, memorization, staging, writing, creating curriculum…..often the magic happens in the quiet. Outside of the active working.

The integration OF.

The embodiment OF.

Our brains 🧠 need active rest after active work in order to solidly integrate information.

Example:

1. I took a walk while speaking text of songs for upcoming cabaret with @whatisrmp

2. Now I’m cuddling. Coloring. Realizing more of the words are just readily available to me

The intentional rest is helping the learning process. This is not how most of us were taught. Muscling through was the accepted, rewarded, and “right” way to show care and work ethic.

Throw that out the window. Not every brain 🧠 works that way. In fact, the scientific studies around Non Sleep Deep Rest for memorization and learning integration and focus really is a fun thing to explore! (Why there’s a “nap corner” in my studio, if a few minutes of rest is ever needed for me or my students!)
