Balance Behind the Scenes will provide a space for performers from all walks of life to connect with one another. Over the course of our 8 weeks together, we will explore topics that range from identity and community to unemployment and resiliency. Members of this support group will be able to share their past and present experiences in the arts. This support group for performers will help undo aloneness, brought upon by isolation and loss, through connecting and reflecting with others.
WHO: performers of all disciplines
WHERE: myTherapyNYC Virtual Therapy Room on Zoom
WHEN: Saturdays 10:30 AM-11:00 AM EST, starting February 15th
COST: $80/session with sliding scale available and sponsorship opportunities available (see below).
If you have Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance, you pay your in-network copay; you may also use your out-of-network benefits with other insurers. Members must commit to all 8 weeks (see below for missed session policy).
Each week, discussions will center on various themes. Some themes will include:
Each weekly discussion will be based on a particular theme; some themes will include “Identity,” “Community,” and “Resilience.” The format of each session will be largely discussion-based. Facilitators will help lead discussions, and members will always choose whether or not they would like to share. Each week may include exercises or brief meditations using a support-focused lens.
This group will help undo aloneness and process grief and anxiety plus brainstorm solutions for coping with uncertainty. Activities and discussions will explore the meaning of self inside and outside of your craft.
It is important that members be able to attend at least 6 out of the 8 sessions. Members who sign up will receive one pass, meaning you can miss a session without penalty. Any subsequent missed sessions will incur a missed session fee.
If you are unable to pay the full fee, let us know. We offer sliding scale, as well as sponsorship opportunities. With sliding scale, you may qualify for a reduced rate. For sponsorship opportunities, you may qualify for partial or full sponsorship of the cost of the group. This is made possible by the generous donations from people in the community who would like to support performers!
If you would like to make a donation to sponsor a member of the group, please use reach out to us using the contact form. We accept donations for full or partial sponsorship. Due to the therapeutic nature of this group, sponsorships will remain anonymous (but are greatly appreciated).
Yes. We are in-network for Blue Cross Blue Shield and out of network for all other insurance companies. We submit submit claims electronically for you in order for you to receive reimbursement.
No. We encourage group members to participate in individual therapy in tandem with the group. Individual therapy can help you explore and unpack what triggers you during group sessions.
One of the special benefits of the group therapy experience is recognizing that many of your feelings are shared by other groups members. To further alleviate your concerns, each group member will have the opportunity to speak with one of the group therapists for a private initial discussion prior to the start of the group. This conversation provides an opportunity to address immediate concerns and generally alleviates some of the anxiety and discomfort that can occur when entering into a group. Consistent attendance and participation in the group also allow for members to get to know one another and develop trust in one another. Many find that meeting with others who are experiencing similar issues can be comforting, and this often sets the stage for discussing one’s own difficulties among familiar faces.
We welcome performers from all different stages in their career, from newcomers to established professionals to transitioning/transitioned artists. We hope to have a diverse group of individuals that can learn from one another.
