FELDENKRAIS PARA MÚSICOS (CONSCIENCIA DEL MOVIMIENTO)
Prof. María Paula Durand
Martes 21 y Miércoles 22 de Julio
Al igual que un instrumento, nuestro cuerpo necesita ser afinado. La música de un instrumento refleja la respiración, la elasticidad, el fluir del movimiento, la coordinación y la postura del instrumentista o cantante.
El método Feldenkrais ayuda a los músicos a encontrar estrategias para optimizar sus movimientos y lograr mayor destreza técnica y flexibilidad postural. En consecuencia, el artista logra expresar y acceder a su mayor potencial creativo
Tendremos dos encuentros de una hora cada uno, en los que exploraremos el poder de la pelvis como centro gravitatorio y a la vez como fuente de espontaneidad y creatividad.
Podremos despertar nuevas conexiones en nuestro sistema percibiendo la columna como cadena conectora. El reconocer nuevas posibilidades de movimiento desde la pelvis nos permite percibir nueva conexiones en nuestro sistema y liberar también nuestra respiración.
Este taller podrá aportar al artista nuevas herramientas para la práctica con el instrumento y así mismo una mejor preparación psicofísica para estar presente en escena.
Workshop
Prof. María Paula Durand: Tuesday 21st and Wednesday 22nd July
Feldenkrais for musicians (Consciousness of Movement)
Like an instrument, our body needs to be finely tuned. Also, the music produced by an instrument reflects the breathing, elasticity, coordination and the posture of a player or singer, as well as the flow of their movement.
The Feldenkrais method helps musicians to find strategies to optimise their movements and to discover improved technical facility and postural flexibility. This allows artists to express themselves to their full creative potential.
We shall hold two meetings, each lasting one hour. In these sessions we shall explore the idea of the pelvis acting both as centre of gravity and as key to spontaneity and creativity. Also, by becoming aware of the possibilities of increased movement from the pelvis, and by perceiving the spinal column as a link in this process, we shall sense new connections in our bodies and liberate our breathing.
This workshop can offer the artist new tools to assist with playing or singing, and also improved preparation for public performance.
