A CONSCIOUS PERFORMANCE
Mindfulness workshops
The acquisition of a wide range of skills in the field of personal development and self-knowledge, with practical application in the professional activity of musicians, is the starting point for these workshops, which aim to overcome the sporadic and non-core approach to these themes in higher artistic education, which is mostly focused on the development of strictly musical skills.
Each workshop will be taught by a specialist trainer trained in the areas of the respective workshops, combining their vast experience with work as/with professional musicians, where they also apply the techniques and skills facilitated.
Workshop goals:
- Increase self-awareness
- Reduce stress through meditative practices, relaxation and presence
- Apply mindfulness principles and coaching strategies to the activity of (pre)-professional musicians
- Encourage the implementation of healthy physical practices in the professional activity of musicians (posture, balance, movement, etc.)
- Improve musical performance through the conscious use of physicality
- Experimenting with different tools and strategies (mental/physical/emotional) with a view to improving artistic performance
- Becoming aware of group dynamics/collective creation (co-creation)
