Musicians suffer greatly from industry-related injury and illness and many of these problems are established during student days or even before. This affects all forms of music-making from classical through jazz and rock to traditional folk. Hearing damage is of serious concern in most forms of music-making but the most stressful situations and the most physical damage is recorded in the practice of classical music.

This book is aimed equally at student musicians practising musicians and instrumental and vocal teachers and it aims to help them to begin to understand how and why their bodies function as they do when they perform and also how they may avoid professionally related illness or injury and achieve the highest standards of performance.

Sensorimotor-Focused EMDR A New Paradigm for Psychotherapy and Peak Performance

Sensorimotor-Focused EMDR A New Paradigm for Psychotherapy and Peak Performance

Sensorimotor-Focused EMDR combines two hugely influential and effective therapies EMDR therapy and sensorimotor psychotherapy to provide a new approach. In doing so the book supports the widely held view of psychotherapists that in trauma the primary store of neurological information is somatic rather than cognitive. Many therapists trained in EMDR find that additional resources are needed for patients who present with symptoms of complex trauma and dissociation. This is because EMDR is primarily a top-down approach based on CBT with the addition of bilateral stimulation (BLS) in visual tactile and auditory modalities. By contrast Sensorimotor-Focused EMDR takes a body-based and bottom-up approach that seeks to resolve trauma by reprocessing information at multiple levels – in the gut-brain the heart-brain and the head-brain as well as in the endocrine immune and nervous systems. Fully revised since The Art of BART (2015) the book looks at the latest advances in neuroscience including research into the effectiveness of psychotherapy and the mysteries of consciousness and the development of mind. It also looks at the role of newly discovered organs the mesentery and the interstitium and provides clear anatomical evidence for the communication of biophotons in energy channels known as the primo vascular system. SF-EMDR is the only therapy that fully integrates Western theories of affective neuroscience with Eastern observations on activation of chakras pranas and energies and in doing so it offers strong potential for enhanced outcomes and optimized performance for patients. | Sensorimotor-Focused EMDR A New Paradigm for Psychotherapy and Peak Performance

Vital Performance Historically Informed Romantic Performance in Cultural Context

Vital Performance Historically Informed Romantic Performance in Cultural Context

Historically Informed Performance or HIP has become an influential and exciting development for scholars musicians and audiences alike. Yet it has not been unchallenged with debate over the desirability of its central goals and the accuracy of its results. The author suggests ways out of this impasse in Romantic performance style. In this wide-ranging study pianist and scholar Andrew John Snedden takes a step back examining the strengths and limitations of HIP. He proposes that many problems are avoided when performance styles are understood as expressions of their cultural era rather than as simply composer intention explaining not merely how we play but why we play the way we do and why the nineteenth century Romantics played very differently. Snedden examines the principal evidence we have for Romantic performance style especially in translation of score indications and analysis of early recordings finally focusing on the performance styles of Liszt and Chopin. He concludes with a call for the reanimation of culturally appropriate performance styles in Romantic repertoire. This study will be of great interest to scholars performers and students to anyone wondering about how our performances reflect our culture and about how the Romantics played their own culturally-embedded music. | Vital Performance Historically Informed Romantic Performance in Cultural Context

Performance Art in Portugal

Performance Art in Portugal

This book explores histories which have only recently been rediscovered by artists and researchers. This study explores the history of Portuguese performance art in its various speculative and performative forms. The author approaches this relationship with the re-emergence and centrality of these (semi-)peripheral histories at an international level whilst identifying some of their unique traits: their cycles of emergence and retraction in Portuguese history; their multiple and complex ontologies; the intertwined relations between the art of performance and the social performance of the Portuguese (regarding topics as sensitive and fracturing as those of the long dictatorship the colonial war and the revolutionary process or even the integration of Portugal in the European Community and more recently the various 21st century social political and economic crises). This reading in turn covers the development of the relationship between performance and hybridism namely analyzing the recent dimension of meta-hybridism in the processes of artistic homage that contemporary Portuguese creators have been establishing through access to the histories and archives of this historical genre. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars in theatre and performance studies performance art and arts in general. | Performance Art in Portugal

Music Performance Encounters Collaborations and Confrontations

Music Performance Encounters Collaborations and Confrontations

Why do most musical performers and musical researchers continue to inhabit divergent epistemic spaces? To what extent is the act of musical performance coextensive with the act of doing musical research and vice versa? At what point in the research process can a performative act transform into a scholarly one and a scholarly act into a performative one? These and other related questions form the central focus of this book with each chapter offering a fresh perspective on a particular topic in music performance studies: improvisational traditions historical performance practices analysis and performance sports psychology cross-cultural musical interactions and institutional challenges. This book is aimed at music researchers teachers students and practising musicians interested in the intersection of academic and performance research; as such it seeks to bridge the divide between the research of university-trained musicologists scholars from other fields who focus on music and the growing community of musical artist-researchers. Material in this book is supported by performance outcomes offered by the contributors on a separate YouTube channel and on the Routledge online portal. | Music Performance Encounters Collaborations and Confrontations
