BrainScripting: Transforming Performance Anxiety into Peak Performance

Berkeley, CA—Performance anxiety is the number one impediment to peak performance in all performance endeavors—singing, music, athletics, dance, acting, and public speaking. Remarkably, most performers know little about regulating their mental states that can either inhibit or optimize their performance. Performance skills, not just your technical skills in your chosen field, will determine how good you can be. This 4 hour workshop will give all performers the knowledge, tools and strategies to do their best. Using traditional sports psychology methods combined with state of the art brain-based techniques based on the latest neuroscience research, psychologist Patrick Gannon, PhD will demonstrate how you can reduce your anxiety and “install” mental scripts of your own choosing that will prime your brain to take your performance to a higher level. Live demonstrations, lecture, self-assessments will be employed. Fifty page workbook is provided to all participants upon registration. Enrollment is limited.

“The Last Mambo” explores the world of Salsa/Latin Jazz in the San Francisco Bay area from diverse perspectives of dancers, DJs and musicians. The film discusses how the dance aesthetic, musical presentation and cultural context have changed in the wake of Afrocuban music’s growing popularity and commercialization. “The Last Mambo”, punctuated with interviews, photographs and concert footage captures the spirit of Salsa/Latin Jazz, celebrates its rich cultural heritage and debates the nature of its future.

Rita Hargrave – Director - Producer. Paul Kealoha Blake - Videographer / Editor
Rita is dancer, dancer, teacher and dance historian and geriatric psychiatrist. She is the founder of www.salsaroots.com, Bay Area based website devoted to the Afro-Cuban, Afro-Puerto Rican and African American roots of salsa dancing. This is her first documentary.

The Documentary Filmmakers Course

These weekend workshops are packed with everything a filmmaker needs to know in order to make a documentary film and get their message to the masses. Topics include creating a great story, how to get funding (with guest speakers from top Californian grant organizations), production and post-production workflows and how to sell and distribute your film. Includes a workshop where you can pitch your project and get specialized advice. At the end of this session, we assure you that you will know exactly what to do next with your project.

Our 2 DAY SEMINAR provides you with an interactive, relaxed environment that encourages you to reach your goals. Through practical tips, hands on experience with filmmaking gear and video examples, you will feel empowered and confident that you can go out the next day and get started on your project. And don't think that after the seminar is over that you are on your own. Instructor Andrew Zinnes is available for quick, one off email questions and hour long consult session long after the event is over to refresh your memory, give advice, and help guide you through your process.

After all, what we want you to do is have an idea, grab a camera and make a doc. And if you aren't completely satisfied we will return your money. No strings attached.
