Bookshop Interview with Author Elma Linz Kanefield, Episode #176

Author Elma Linz Kanefield discusses her book, Hamlet’s Mirror: Reaching Your Potential Onstage and Off. It is a book designed for performing artists, but the advice it contains could apply to all artists and artists-at-heart. Elma’s own experience with stage fright as a young performer in NYC led her to become a psychotherapist and to write this book. In Hamlet’s Mirror, she discusses why artists and performers do what they do, the pressures they experience as a result, and why the goal should be to strive for excellence not perfection.
