Each week following an artist's post, reflection questions and research ideas will get posted. These are aimed towards college level courses (senior seminar, composition, dance education, and more), but of course anyone can read the postscript and find thought-provoking questions and activities.

Discuss: "Take Aways" from Elizebeth's Final Advice

"Be brave, be curious, be humble, be mindful, be real. Listen to your heart and follow your guts. If you get discouraged, notice that what may be holding you back is often just a boatload of self-imposed limitations and beliefs…let them go. Instead of spending your energy comparing yourself to others, work on recognizing and honoring your authentic and unique beauty. Go to shows. Take class. Spend time in nature. Connect. Build communities. Make mistakes. Learn. Laugh. Enjoy. Say yes, do your best, and love yourself a lot."

Discuss in a class a phrase from this paragraph that struck you, and why.

Reflect: Performing

Consider two of the questions that were posed to Elizebeth:

1. What are your strengths as a performer?

2. What do you love about performing?
