"Smartphones have changed pretty much everything. These days, performing artists aren't just expected to focus on their art, they also have to market themselves on social media. The old idea of a company being a safe space to "try again, to fail again and to fail better" (as Beckett said) has been replaced by the worry that you can be replaced with someone who has more Instagram followers.
That pressure throws people off balance. That's why I like to start the day by getting back to a simple idea: less is more. Every morning, I share my mindfulness-yoga practice with the cast and anyone else who wants to join. Together, we're "the International Breathing Co."
And yes, you're invited too. You don't need any experience, just a little curiosity. Maybe you need a moment to breathe, or perhaps you want to start your day with a gentle reminder that you're already enough.
Click the link below to join me live or watch the replay whenever it suits you. If you donate at least €5 per session, you're taking care of your body and mind while also supporting The Naked Theatre, its workshops, the summer retreat and ongoing projects.
Feel free to join in."
