Performing Arts Medicine Resources

Supporting your wellbeing from rehearsal room to stage

Last updated 8 April 2026

Stepping into performance can bring more than just technical demands — it can also come with nerves, self-doubt, and the pressure to deliver. Whether it shows up as a racing heart, shaky hands, or a blank mind, stage fright is a common experience for many artists.

These resources, developed in collaboration with healthcare professionals from Changi General Hospital, offer practical strategies to help you understand these responses, manage performance anxiety, and build confidence over time.

At the intersection of health and artistic practice, performing arts medicine focuses on helping artists better understand and care for their bodies and minds. It supports a more sustainable approach to making work — one that can be carried from rehearsal room to stage, over time.

This resource is part of Arts Resource Hub's initiative, which supports arts Self-Employed Persons (SEPs) and freelance practitioners in Singapore through curated resources, peer learning, and industry collaborations.

Developed in partnership with healthcare professionals from Changi General Hospital, this series aims to make performing arts medicine knowledge more accessible and relevant to everyday artistic practice.
