Great topic, Maia - I'm reminded of what a college environmental science professor once said: "The solution to pollution is dilution." In terms of your question, I find one solution is to call more gigs; that way, there is less time to brood over mistakes, and the errors become less noticeable!
That in addition to all of the other tips that others have already provided might provide some comfort...😊 ________________________________ From: Callers <[email protected]> on behalf of Maia McCormick via Callers <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, November 6, 2017 4:10 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Callers] Moving past self-flagellation So after a gig, I find myself haunted by one or two missteps from an evening — the rolling start that was a little muddy, the thing I didn’t teach clearly enough so the dancers never quite got it — even though the dancers adjusted and all had a good time, and I still had the hall’s trust and goodwill at the end of the evening. Is this a familiar experience for anyone? Assuming you’ve already learned the lesson to be learned there, how do you move past it and stop self-flagellating?Would love to hear some people’s thoughts! Cheers, Maia
