When a Performing Artist can unite their intellectual understanding of music, text and narrative, with their innate musicality, emotional empathy and physicality then the outcome and power to communicate is extraordinary. How can the Feldenkrais Method assist this holistic development?
The purpose of the Feldenkrais input is to develop awareness, not create another habit. I encourage students to adapt lessons in this way for their warm-ups, performance preparation and general wellbeing.
Throughout these residencies I team teach with other coaches and observe performers’ rehearsals and performance to further integrate these discoveries into their whole approach to their work.
Young artists
I work with various organisations with a combination of group and individual lessons, to explore how each Young Artist can learn to develop their potential. Usually a series of lessons will include looking at breath, grounding, fluidity of movement and awareness of space both internally and externally.

I think your paper is quietly groundbreaking! It is an inspiring documenting of the power of Feldenkrais for the body and the imagination working together from 'the inside'. The Merleau-Ponty and the Carl Rogers amplify this so well. The Linklater is very useful in rounding the evidence out. Lisa Dart, writer
