Movement for Musicians

Course Number
PMH-250
Description

This course is for any musician interested in being more comfortable in their body and developing confidence through movement. The musician’s first asset is their physical body, and it is critical that performers develop a body language and awareness that allows them to fully deliver their artistic vision. This course fosters full-bodied expression through increased awareness of breath and alignment coupled with discovering one’s full range of movement. Students will develop their senses—including sight, touch, hearing, and kinesthetic motion—to enhance overall performance skills. They will also work on strength, stamina, performance intention, and wellness in addition to audition skills. Movement disciplines may include various dance forms such as yoga or other somatic practices, and also involve improvisation. No previous dance or movement experience is required.
