Body Mapping with Jan Prokop
Improve your Alignment…
Release Muscle Tension…
Move with Ease…
Free your Instrument…
Your body map is how your brain views the structures of your body and how the body works.
Body Mapping is the conscious correcting and retraining of your body map. An accurate body map produces graceful, tension free movement and a body that is available to the performer. Through discussions, demonstrations and exercises that develop kinesthetic awareness and release muscle tension, artists will be guided in the discovery of freedom of movement and balance. This will be followed by the application of Body Mapping principles to singing.

Opera America, 330 Seventh Avenue (@ 29th St) Room 706
Fee: $100 for participants (limited to 8)
