No Pressure Situations

Tim Bunting AKA Kiwi Yamabushi on Zao-san

No problem

If you’re worried about no one turning up to your show, think of it as a chance to practice without the added pressure an audience brings.

Dewa Sanzan Jinja does prayer services multiple times a day. They even do it when there is no one to do it for, that is, no one from the general public. During those times, of course the priests would be disappointed they aren’t doing the prayers directly for the general public. However, it is also a chance to hone their skills without the pressure of an audience.

Of course if you can keep this mindset, i.e. still have some form of audience in mind but getting lost in the moment as you perform, it will certainly treat you well. That way the creation takes precedence, and for long-term success, this is paramount.
