"Music Cafe" by USAG Vicenza
Presentations, Performances, and Preparedness 
Reflection Blog Post Assignment
As you enjoy today's performances at the Music Cafe at the CLA we invite you to think about presentations, performances, and preparedness in your own life. Think about some events where you feel like you are "performing". It could be at school, on a team, at work, with an organization, doing something you enjoy publicly, or in a group. 

  1. Comment on the performances you saw today:**
    • What stood out to you? 
    • What did you like?
  2. Describe a performance experience of your own:
    • In a few sentences describe your performance experience
    • explain what makes it feel like a "performance" 
    • explain how you feel about "performing" in that context
  3. Describe how you usually prepare:
    • Explain the things you do, or have done in the past leading up to a "performance" - think about your mental, emotional, physical, and possibly even spiritual preparation
  4. Describe a way in which you would like to "perform" better, and how you will prepare to get there
    • Explain something specific you would like to improve on
    • Suggest a specific plan, or steps you could take to improve the way you perform or the way you prepare
**If you did not see the performances you can instead comment on two articles you've read on performance or preparing for something. We suggest you find articles relevant to the specific type of performance you will be discussing. After telling a bit about each article you can continue answering the questions above. Make sure you include a link, the title, and author of the two articles they read in their post
