PERFORMERS

Directional Training has benefited countless musicians, singers, dancers and actors, because it empowers them to become aware of the physical habits that impede their performances.

MUSICIANS & SINGERS

​There is no such thing as a RIGHT position, but there is such a thing as a right direction.
​The techniques taught through Directional Training have a long history of helping instrumentalists and singers to perform with less stress and likelihood of injury. Musicians do some of the most complex and demanding physical movements of any profession. In recent years, the term Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) has come into popular use, but musicians have always had to face the challenge of performing the same complex muscular actions over and over again.
Directional Training will enhance your performance by:
  • Improve the quality of the physical movements involved in playing an instrument or singing.
  • Improve the quality of the music itself.
  • Improve a singer's tight neck or jaw, which causes the voice to become less resonant.
  • Help musicians release undue tension in their bodies.
  • Maintain a clear connection to the floor.
  • Break performance habits.
  • Maintain poise no matter your activity.

DANCERS

What is the “manner and ability” needed to dance?
The pressure of performance and the repetitive nature of dance and exercise make it all the more important that you are thinking clearly and using yourself well, so that you perform at your optimal best and to avoid injury. Directional Training frees the dancer from rigid holding patterns or other constraints that bind thought, feeling and action. The emergence of somatic-approaches and “release” techniques and their incorporation into dance training supports the trend toward finding more free, autonomous ways of moving.
Directional Training will enhance your performance by:
  • Improving balance, coordination, focus, strength and speed.
  • Reducing strain and stress.
  • Awakens the kinesthetic awareness.
  • Reducing the risk of injury.
  • Improved body use, means minimum effort for maximum efficiency.
