Art Mentoring by PPROFF

Artistic expression for self-knowledge

When a flower stem breaks through the soil in order to find sunlight you observe a movement. It is movement of physical nature that is absolutely essential in changing this Being’s form: from a stem into a flower!

Humans can live this exact situation of growth. It is a fact that your Body can act like the stem, it can pierce through all ground that stands between who U are and the Person U need, want and must Be.
Movement and Physical awareness are absolutely essential to Inner Consciousness.

This is the process in Life Mentoring with Artistic expression for self-knowledge where we use MindFulness Movement, body expression and acting techniques.

LIFE MENTORING 4 Artists - "Art Mentoring"

"heARTh is a way of Living" - P.Proff

We will stand beside you as you discover and work to build the most important form of ART: the best person and artist that you can be. 

The concept and method of Art Mentoring comes from a passion, a calling and more than 20 years of experience and formation in the areas of health and art.

Artists due to their sensitivity and a lot of stress in the creative process, are individuals who need to be monitored to maintain a balance in general and their health. In ART MENTORING, we have an equal priority to make it happen, with a healthy balance, the projects/goals of each artist.

Artists may create or develop art pieces; but it is extremely difficult for the artist alone to develop his career, his own image, if the artistic process is a lonely process, the development process of an artist is not. In particular, the art mentor is in charge of the Artist, his well-being and his Artwork globally, overall visual appearance and how it communicates visually, stimulates moods, contrasts features, and psychologically appeals to a target audience. The art mentor makes decisions with the artist and always with his personal objective in mind, the art mentor makes it happen, more than a manager, art dealer or art producer who, the main focus is the commercial area, the Art Mentor main focus is in the global health and balance of the artist as well as its’ image and balance as a human being, this way everything is possible and the artist can put more focus in his art work.

One of the most difficult problems that the artists face is to translate desired moods, messages, concepts, and underdeveloped ideas into imagery, here is crucial the support and tutoring of the Art Mentor. During the brainstorming process, artist and Mentor are engaged in imagining what the finished piece, performance, book or exhibition might look like, as well as its’ image and emotional, social, psychological and physical health. 

At times, an art mentor is ultimately responsible for solidifying the vision of the collective imagination while resolving a conflicting agenda and inconsistencies between the various individual inputs.

In order to be whole, we need to see ourselves as the key to our life. 

In order to be aware, we must question our believes.

In order to believe, we must question. 

Just as, to arrive, we firstly must leave.

Acting Techniques - Part 4

Shakespeare for Self-Knowledge

 

 

 

"To be or not to be: that is the question"

 

It's an intense, gratifying process that makes us grow, makes us better people and is liberating.

 

Thought is power but even greater power is speech, who doesn't have power in Shakespeare's plays doesn't speak, but as people, not characters, speaking Shakespeare is great power.

 

 

Shakespeare creates "people", he gives them life and all that comes with it: fight for (or conflict with) power, love, insecurities, doubts, image, mask, ego, internal and external conflicts... In my opinion, it's impossible to say Shakespeare writes about only one theme, unless you simply say: Shakespeare writes about the human condition.

 

Shakespeare makes us believe in the appearances to show the reality.

 

Shakespeare holds the human condition responsible, with compassion, exposes it but doesn't blame it.

 

"All the world's a stage,

And all the men and women merely players."

 

Come find out more about you and the meaning of "To be or not to be", by acting Shakespeare. 

(No acting experience required)

Acthing Techniques - Part 3

You Are What You Speak

 

Our voice is our biggest instrument.

You can tell almost everything from a person by her voice, it's important for our everyday life, shows our strong points, our fragilities, our origins, points of view, interest, etc..., in fact, words become almost superficial in a face-to-face talk, because you understand the meaning of the speech by the voice, hence sarcasm, irony, etc.

In our society, we create a vocal mask, that allows us to fit in and survive, but also creates a lot of tension points.

 

That mask creates the quality of the sound (meaning the way, it occupies the space) and the resonator (meaning the place where is amplified in the body).

 

Our body is the place where our voice is amplified, with nothing more than air and the vibration of our vocal chords, so everything in our body (e.g: our posture, the way we relate with the air and articulation, some points of tension can prevent the vibration of the vocal chords, etc.) affects our voice.

Feeling lost? That's very good, actually!

Often we carry an inner discomfort: we feel loss and wonder if we are missing out on life.

There is no apparent reason for this. In fact, we cannot explain or rationalize. 

We just feel that something is amiss.

If you  relate, then that is very good!

You are doing very well because you are aware of this discomfort within, you are facing it together with all the difficult feelings it brings. 

This is the first, the most relevant, step in addressing an issue in life.

You are ready to move on. 

That means that you need to discover all skills, strengths, positive characteristics that you have: probably you have forgotten them while feeling lost. 

It is important that you feel renewal in your daily life. There are simple gestures, changes in your behavior that we can help you implement in a brief period of time. Engage in physical training with us: when our body acquires the ability to jump, run, move in ways that were impossible before there is a huge impact in our life. We realize then that behavior is a choice, that work leads to real change in life, that we can trust ourselves to feel better.

Bring creativity in your life through writing, eating and cooking in a new healthy way. Learn about body expression, how to improve communication with others. 

Accomplishing these actions will bring you the sense that you are learning, that you can do what you decide to do. 

We are about perceiving You. Helping you identify all that is positive, connecting with you in order to help you 

• understand what you need and want
• generate fresh ideas
• implement change, with joy 
• keep on track towards your goals

We are about awareness: your heart beating, your ability to breathe, to love are processes within you, that occur all the time and that are the embodiment of beauty, wonder, accomplishment. 

There is joy in these processes. As there is warmth all around us: find it in sunlight as much as in rain; see it in Nature, in somebody’s smile; acknowledge it when you walk; feel it when two strangers hug. 

At Life Mentoring Studio® we will engage in this journey with you. We rely on your ability to be who you need and want to be. It will be hard work but it will also be terribly fun.
