The Healing
"Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space lies our freedom and power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our happiness.". Viktor Frankl
This 60-minute piece is about Panic Attacks and Imposter Syndrome. How to let them go and what to do when those feelings of self-sabotage and fear come calling. Part play. Part Masterclass. Part Story. Part Learning. Jonathan shares his own experiences of terrifying Stage Fright in a hit West End play, in front of audiences of thousands! And more importantly, how he cured himself.
He will be sharing his ‘Pillars of Presence’… his ‘scaffolding’, that he has evolved over of years of managing his own fear – with the hope and expectation that those coming along will take some knowledge and tools away, which they can practice to cure their own unique versions of this terrifying and debilitating condition. Over the years, you may have seen Jonathan in his one man play ‘I Found My Horn’. His feel good 90-minute show about a man re-learning the French Horn. But behind the scenes, without employing these ‘Pillars of Presence’, there is no way he would be able to get up on a stage and perform that story - let alone play a Mozart Horn Concerto at the end!
But even if you haven’t seen him before, and you struggle with any kind of Imposter Syndrome or Stage Fright, why not come along and see what doors Jonathan could open for you too?

The Workshop
Do you have an idea, or half an idea for a one-person stage show? Have you thought about it, then decided you don’t know how to take it from idea to an actual, live stage show?
Then… this 2 day weekend workshop is for you.
We will take you on a journey from ideas to structure, characters to outcomes.
We will ‘Inspire’ you. ‘Challenge’ you. ‘Mentor’ you through this intensive process.
You may have heard that old adage: “Everyone has a book inside them.” But how do you get the idea out on paper? How do you turn an idea into reality?
Jonathan and Harry have lived experience doing exactly that with their hit show: ‘I Found My Horn’. Described by the Sunday Times as “A Shot of pure joy.”
Places are limited.
