The Benefits of Mindfulness for Theatre Technicians

Technicians for Change: Every production meeting has a presence. It is an energy created by each person in attendance, felt by all, and it sets the tone for the entire process to come. We’ve all been in the room with that one team that just clicked; you enter the space, and everyone is on the same wavelength. Successes are team successes, and, when you reach an impasse, everyone works together to move past it, no matter the department. On the other hand, we’ve all entered that same first meeting and experienced the opposite: you walk in and feel the negative energy. Your defenses go up automatically, and you arm yourself before you even know what is coming.
