Why<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Future performers know that their work requires a high standard of neuro-muscular coordination but also that their expressive capabilities are often hampered by their physical use. Performing is done with the same body we use in our daily activities. Our physical capabilities are determined by (sometimes erroneous) habits and thought patterns. Are we aware of our coordination in stillness and movement? How can we influence this? How can we avoid certain thoughts, stress and anxiety that are limiting us? It is important for every musician, singer, actor, dancer to achieve easy dynamic balance (mental, emotional, mechanical, and muscular) throughout their action, play, dance, so that they learn to use themselves in an expansive and free way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We only have 1 body. Let\u2019s use it respectfully and lovingly and learn to listen to it. That way, it can give artistic work an extra dementia. It is a process of becoming more in the ‘now’. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
