Saturday Superstitious Power
I’ve been doing several blogs in the
past few months about dancers, actors, and their superstitions. According to an
interesting article in Dance Magazine,
https://www.dancemagazine.com/superstitious-2306981157.html
“ Researchers
have even found a correlation between superstitions and improved performance.”
This is likely due to the fact that
comforting, familiar routines (rituals) help boost confidence. And we can all use an abundance of
that before a performance!
But there is a downside. Too much
dependence on particular rituals can prevent a performer from adapting to
change – destroying instead of building confidence. So, like many things In
life, moderation is key.
From the Big
Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Superstition Secret #138:
“Researchers have found a correlation between
superstitions and improved performance.”

Quote of the Day:
“You never
see animals going through the absurd and often horrible fooleries of magic and
religion. . . . Only man behaves with such gratuitous folly. It is the price he
has to pay for being intelligent but not, as yet, quite intelligent
enough.”
― Aldous Huxley
