I made this video during a rehearsal of Valerius (13 October 2015) to show some changes – hopefully the link is working.

Power posing
Thanks to Ina, a friend whom I met at Leiden University, I discovered that an important outcome of my last intervention cycle already has been researched. Amy Cuddy, who is a social psychologist and professor/teacher at Harvard Business School (and a former professional dancer), found out that body language and someone’s posture can change not only other people’s judgements of that person, but also his/her own perception of him-/herself.

Potentially interesting (since people think I’m kind/sweet/whatever):

BUT some scientists disagree, they don’t see a significant difference in hormone levels after changing posture.
I still need to read:

Another survey
Artistic Research feedback Renate van der Hoeven
This survey was handed in too late because of circumstances and therefore wasn’t calculated in the results of the surveys.
Almost done…
Yesterday I played my masterrecital, and today I spent most of the day working on Research. I’m almost done writing my last reports, but I’ll finish them tomorrow asap…
