Hello, I’m Sondra Bennett and welcome to my new Life Performance Practices website.
As actors in life, I felt we deserved a distinct acting process powered by personal awareness to help us create greater results as we perform our daily lives. Using theatre as a metaphor for life, you learn to direct your inner cast of characters to support personal changes and interactions with various people and situations. As a Quick Change Artist, The Practices will become your inner survival kit for these fast-paced, ever-changing times.

I invite you to peruse this website and learn why I believe that Life Performance Practices is an enriching, innovative approach to something we all do everyday - Act.

Life Performance Practices brings a broader, spiritual awareness 
to
the everyday art of acting 
that naturally elevates the act of living.

What are Life Performance Practices?


We are all actors in life performing our daily routines.

Life Performance Practices is a unique performance-based process designed especially for you, the Life Actor.

You learn to turn creative blocks into valuable creative skills for performing to the best of your ability in everyday situations.

You discover the Five Performance Styles we all possess to different degrees and learn how they define your way of being and acting in the world.

The Life Performance Practices take an insightful and practical approach to your daily performance, yet its view of life is deeply rooted in the powerful sanity of ancient wisdom.

The Practices show you how to improve your ability to move out of undesirable situations and make better performance and character choices.

It’s the life schooling we never got, but badly need in today’s volatile world.


Why Practice Life Performance?


We all have a tragic and a comic side to our inner cast of characters. Your sense of self depends on which side you rehearse the most.


Life Performance Practices give you the performance tools to rehearse who you want and need to be.

You learn to use all acting parts of yourself, known as your human instrument, so that you are well prepared to meet all of life’s challenges.

Life Performance Practices show you how to counter-act your fears, doubts, and mis-takes.


    You will...

  • Safely discover your creative blocks and turn them into creative skills.
  • Learn how to master your inner cast of characters to perform at your daily best
  • Interact with others more creatively because you understand the characters in us all.
  • Become identified with an inner space of stability.

Ultimately we learn not to act from pretense, but from Genuine Presence.

Join us to Stretch your Life Performance Skills

Most of us learn how to act in life through the school of hard knocks. Seeking happiness, our emotional character flip-flops back and forth from comedy (our productive side) to tragedy (our destructive side).

Soon we identify with certain productive or destructive traits without even realizing it. Living with awareness and choice is the life actor’s main objective. Your resolve is to act with self-commanding sanity.

During the LPTLabs and personal studies, you learn character and performance choices to suit your changing needs and create the best possible outcome.

Given that we each have different needs and abilities, Life Performance Practices offers the following four platforms:
