INTERPRETAZIONE E ANALISI
Integrazione tra movimento, sensazioni, sentimento e pensiero: l’elemento fondante è la consapevolezza. Tensioni fisiche ed emotive, abitudini e schemi motori inconsapevoli sono i maggiori responsabili dei problemi dei musicisti.
Durante le 8 lezioni di Metodo Feldenkrais®, imparerai ad apprendere e sviluppare abitudini nuove e più funzionali ad acquisire consapevolezza corporea, a riscoprire una postura più efficiente e più efficace, a ritrovare una respirazione più libera e adattabile. Questo ti permetterà di migliorare la qualità del suono, di gestire al meglio le ansie da performance e di conseguire una maggiore espressività artistica. Le lezioni di Metodo Feldenkrais® si svolgeranno nelle stesse giornate delle lezioni.
Docente:
MARISA GLORIOSO
Diplomata presso la Formazione Internazionale Metodo Feldenkrais® è abilitata all’insegnamento sia delle lezioni di gruppo Consapevolezza Attraverso il Movimento® sia alla tecnica manuale dell’Integrazione Funzionale® (sessione individuale).
La sua formazione prima linguistica, poi musicale e artistica, la portano ad appassionarsi a tutto ciò che è espressione del corpo e creatività: si interessa all’euritmia di Rudolf Steiner, pratica artistica di movimento strettamente collegata al linguaggio e alla musica, e frequenta un percorso triennale sull’espressività corporea e Comunicazione verbale e non verbale. Studia canto lirico al Conservatorio di Palermo, segue corsi di dizione, improvvisazione teatrale e recitazione. A Torino perfeziona l’arte scenica, la tecnica vocale e l’interpretazione. Frequenta l’Accademia Stefano Tempia specializzandosi in Canto Corale e pratica l’attività di corista per alcuni anni. Il suo interesse per tutto ciò che si occupa di armonia corpo-mente-spirito, la avvicina alle discipline olistiche: si diploma e consegue un Master come Operatrice Shiatsu, frequenta un Corso di Diapason Terapia e un corso di Campane tibetane a fini terapeutici.
