Body Mapping: Integrating the Whole (three-part course)
Tuesday 12th November 2024, 5:00 PM - Tuesday 3rd December 2024 7:00 PM (London Time)
Body Mapping is movement re-education. The body needs to be balanced and aligned in order to move and function efficiently. The body maps are our brain’s internal picture of the structure, function and size of our body parts. Our bodies move the way the brains tells it, and the brain can only communicate what it knows from its maps. That’s why our body maps are so important. If the body map is inaccurate or inadequate, movement is inefficient and potentially injury-producing. If the body map is accurate, movement becomes more fluid, easier and more possible in every direction. Integrating body awareness will allow musical expression to be freer and directly connected to each artist’s individual voice.
During this workshop we will explore the 6 dynamic places of balance of Body Mapping. Through discussions, exercises, and stretches, we will discover how to recognize and release muscle tension, and correct and adjust our own body’s maps.

Muscle Tension Dysphonia in the Singing Voice!
Dr Claire Thomas
Join Dr Claire Thomas for a practical 2-hour workshop for singing teachers and voice practitioners!

Not one size fits all, but a guide to making informed choices with voice users.

Inspired Not Bound: The Promise of Science-Informed Voice Pedagogy
Lynn Helding
Lynn Helding defines Science-Informed Voice Pedagogy in her upcoming book Practicing Science-Informed Voice Training as, “A type of hybrid singing voice pedagogy that unites science and art by researching current voice science, translating it, combining it with extant historic voice knowledge, and transmitting it to singers.” Join Lynn Helding as she seeks to understand human behaviour of both sides of the “Science versus Art” debate via research from the fields of cognitive science and behavioural science, focussing particularly on lessons learned due to several societal shifts.
