Skills to develop for combined arts

• Improvisation- I need to work on stepping out of my comfort zone and just focus on playing more and being spontaneous. 
• Confidence with movement- I tend to get embarrassed and laugh when doing close contact movement with other performers. I need to focus on thinking in a more professional mindset and getting things done.
• I also need to work on letting go of material i have created if it doesn't work. i tend to get attached to something i like.
