BIO-RHYTHMIC PERFORMANCE

You’ve taken Doug McDade’s Fundamentals of Being Camera Smart. You’ve gone 18” Deeper and Discovered Your HeArt On Camera. Now it’s time to Express Your HeArt On Camera. We got a taste of how our heArt feels in certain situations - compressed or expanded. In Bio-Rhythmic we’ll take an in-depth look at what drives our work in our craft.

What Bio-Rhythmic Performance?

First we must understand biologic rhythms.

What are biologic rhythms?

In essence, they're the rhythms of life. All forms of life on earth, including our bodies, respond rhythmically to the regular cycles of the sun, moon, and seasons. 

We will explore how emotions just may be the driving force for all behavior. As we break down scenes (One new scene every two weeks) we will take a closer look at the emotions which drive not only our character’s decisions but those in the scene with us. 

For example, as night turns into day, vital body functions, including heart rate and blood pressure, speed up in anticipation of increased physical activity. These and other predictable fluctuations in body function, taking place during specific time cycles, are our biologic rhythms. They are regulated by "biologic clock" mechanisms located in the brain.

Although biologic rhythms can be "reprogrammed" by environmental influences (such as when a person regularly works the night shift and sleeps during the day), they are genetically "hard-wired" into our cells, tissues, and organs.

Medical chronobiologists have found that biologic rhythms can affect the severity of disease symptoms, diagnostic test results, and even the body's response to drug therapy. Now these investigators are working to discover how the rhythms of life can be used to improve the practice of medicine -- and your health. 

The Doug McDade Studio of the Performing HeArts endeavors to improve your craft by continuing to stress our personal growth and development in approaching our work from 

our heArt’s desires. We take a hard look at how we feel BEFORE we think.

These time-related medical observations, and others still in the exciting process of discovery, are rooted in chronobiology (chronos -- time; bios -- life; logos - science). The study of biologic rhythms and Bio-Rhythmic Performance is a revolutionary process to help us Express Our HeArt On-Camera!
