Live performances are powerful. They connect with audiences in ways that other forms of art never can. The immediacy of live theater, music, storytelling, poetry, improvisation, and public speaking can move people to think, to consider, to change, and to act.
When we perform live, we get audiences involved in our message and in our artwork. Their reactions and their energy are critical components of the work itself. It’s working without a net, and anything can happen. It’s exhilarating for both the performers and those experiencing the show.
Strong actors, speakers, singers, and dancers must have the technical skills needed to perform well. But there’s more to performing than the mechanical work required to present an effective performance. The difference between an average performer and a truly memorable one requires a depth of thought and a never-ending need to ask “Why?”
Tom Kephart has spent over thirty years performing live in front of audiences. His methods of preparing himself and others for a performance result in effective, moving experiences for his audiences. Through group classes and individual coaching, Tom and his associates can help you become a stronger, more confident performer.
