Imposter Phenomenom and other Lies I tell myself

When you feel like a fraud in your own field of expertise.

A continuous research of self-perceived deception in my work as a dancer : am I "good enough" or "creative enough"?


How can I use this uncertainty as a starting point for a creative process?

Inspired by the term coined in the 1978 article "The Imposter Phenomenon in High Achieving Women*: Dynamics and Therapeutic Intervention” by Dr. Pauline R. Clance and Dr. Suzanne A. Imes

*It has later been proven that all genders experience imposter phenomenon
