As musicians, we are taught at an early age that the music is center-stage. Our physical comfort and mental selves often take a back seat to the notes on the page. The perfectionism that comes with the rigor of classical music training can be crippling. How could acceptance of our limitations help us perfect our art forms in a healthier way? Having a genetic condition, with its physical limitations, has shaped my journey as both human being and artist. Working with Feldenkrais has helped me accept my own limitations, and allows me to help others accept and exceed theirs.

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.
