Bringing together scholars and researchers in one volume, this
study investigates how the thinking of the Ukrainian-Israeli
somatic educationalist Moshe Feldenkrais (1904-84) can benefit and
reflect upon the creative practices of dance, music and theatre.
Since its inception, the Feldenkrais Method has been associated
with artistic practice, growing contiguously with performance,
cognitive and embodied practices in dance, music, and theatre
studies. It promotes awareness of fine motor action for improved
levels of action and skill, as well as healing for those who are
injured. For creative artists, the Feldenkrais Method enables them
to refine and improve their work. This book offers historical,
scientific and practical perspectives that develop thinking at the
heart of the Method and is divided into three sections: Historical
Perspectives on Creative Practice, From Science into Creative
Practice and Studies in Creative Practice. All the essays provide
insights into self-improvement, training, avoiding injury, history
and philosophy of artistic practice, links between scientific and
artistic thinking and practical thinking, as well as offering some
exercises for students and artistic practitioners looking to
improve their understanding of their practice. Ultimately, this
book offers a rich development of the legacy and the ongoing
relevance of the Feldenkrais Method. We are shown how it is not
just a way of thinking about somatic health, embodiment and
awareness, but a vital enactivist epistemology for contemporary
artistic thought and practice.
