Abstract
The ultimate motivation for being an actor has arrived: performance. The authors offer performance strategies to the introverted actor, including finding comfort in regular patterns and identifying routines that optimize preparation for performance. The question of whether it is best to acknowledge or create a barrier from the audience is examined. Advocacy for mindfulness is shared as a reminder of the passion and elation any actor may feel when performing. Finally, the authors delve into post-show best practices, including cool-downs, leaving the theatre, and self-care techniques. Emphasis is placed on the nexus between self and community to heighten personal satisfaction when performing.
