Uri Vardi presents Working with Musicians for Never Stop: The Artistry of Self-Care and Creativity for Lifelong Embodied Performance, A Feldenkrais Awareness Summit

When working with musicians, I approach using the Feldenkrais Method the same way that I approach creating music. It involves trusting my intuition, using my imagination, and relying on natural laws of physics (sense of gravity, speed of movement and timing). The creativity of the Feldenkrais Method resembles the same creative process that takes place when I create an intimate relationship between a composer, through his/her composition, and myself. My attention to the changes that I experience within myself while working on a musical composition resembles changes which I discover during ATMs or Fls. In my session, I plan to focus on the discovery of habitual patterns which are manifested in daily life and during musical communication. I plan to focus on the importance of attending to musicians’ musical intentions when using the Feldenkrais Method to help them grow as musicians and when helping them alleviate discomfort or pain.

Stick around to listen to the other performing artists talk about their profession and share specialized tips on self-care, teaching, preventing injury, creativity, enhanced performance, and impacting the world.

It's a great introduction to the Feldenkrais Method, Awareness Through Movement lessons, and other somatic approaches to living your best life as a performing artist, practicing self-care, and more.
