Soul behind the Skill, Heart behind the Technique: Experiences of Flow among Artistically Talented Students in Singapore
Garces-Bacsal, Rhoda Myra; Cohen, Libby; Tan, Liang See
Gifted Child Quarterly, v55 n3 p194-207 Jul 2011
Case studies of students enrolled in a specialized secondary school in Singapore describe the experiences of flow among 14 teacher-nominated adolescents talented both in the arts and in academics. Individual in-depth interviews were conducted with the respondents to discern whether they experience flow as they each engage in their respective art forms (visual arts, dance, music, and theater). Qualitative analysis of the interview transcripts reveals elements of the flow state (clear goals, intense concentration, enjoyment, loss of self-consciousness, transformation of time) highly evident among the talented teenagers. Environmental supports that enable expressions of artistic inclinations and identities within the Singapore context were likewise in conjunction with implications for arts-educators and artist-practitioners.
