Hello to all performers out there! My name's Luci, and I have tics (pursuing a Tourettes diagnosis now but testing is backed up). I am a musician and aerial gymnast, and currently I'm in off season for aerial acrobatics. My tics used to come off and on for years and we're fairly easy to hide, but now they've gotten quite severe for the last 8-10 months non stop. Needless to say, I've never really performed with tics before, and I was wondering if anyone has any advice for how to manage it? I have concerts quite frequently for violin and cello, and can usually suppress my tics while performing but sometimes it's quite difficult and I don't want to ruin anything, so it'd be really nice if anyone had ideas! Thank you so much!!!
