COACHING
If you’ve ever felt the swing from joy to despair (and back!) in sixty-seconds, you’re not alone.
As a fellow creative, I know the thrill of sitting in a darkened theatre on opening night of one of my productions. I’ve also experienced the disappointment of critical comments, empty seats, or lackluster performances that didn’t accurately convey my vision or capability.
Paula Y. Flautt
One-on-One Coaching Customized to Your Unique Goals
Drawing on 40+ years of experience with stage, screen and music, I can help you increase ingenuity and inventiveness for fresh and deep work to strengthen your performance goals in:
Dramaturgy
Audition Strategy
Scene Work
Production Concepting
Production Directing
Clarity Backed by Expertise
STORY WORK
Throughout various forms of creative work, story is a taproot to truth and wonder, both the stories we write and the ones we live in the process of our creating. With both, to me the undergirding approach is to serve the audience (whomever that may be) and to glorify God.
For storytellers, my passion for history is a specific strength I’d love to help you add to your arsenal. If you seek to tell a living story of human history, will come alongside and serve as needed in areas of guiding concept, analysis, authenticity and production values.
WRITING
If writing is your focus, I offer expertise to help you grow in this craft.
Informed by decades of experience of both critical and commercial success, I can help you identify strengths and opportunities for growth in your writing and arm you with tools for expanding and refining your creative writing skills.
MUSIC
If you are inclined towards the gift of music, you can benefit from my decades of experience in choral musical writing for multiple publishers.
Years of writing and directing studio and video work has tuned my ear well to the power of melding music and words – whether sung or spoken. I’d love to get you to the next level of how you incorporate music in your creative process.
ARTS EDUCATION
If the shaping or detail of arts education is an area of need, I’m passionate about that too.
With more than thirty years’ experience in classrooms of all sizes, as well as homeschool tutorial spaces, I’d love to help you discover creative arts solutions that make sense for your unique setting, students and goals.
PERFORMANCE SUPPORT
If you love the stage, I’d love to help you up your performance skills.
My one-on-one coaching can help you overcome performance anxiety, hone your memorization and delivery skills, and prepare you to nail that next audition!
WORSHIP ARTS
Bringing scripture to life through the combination of spoken word, music and visual art is one of my very favorite creative acts.
Whether through the sharing of existing scripts, creating new ones, or helping you grow your team and creative programs, I count it a privilege to equip worship leaders, schools and churches with tools and coaching for how to expand the impact of your worship arts services.
