InhalteThis course provides an insight in mental health issues for dancers. Professional dance puts a high demand on the dancer’s psyche: Working with the body in the spotlight is both a challenge and a potential for mind and psyche. Mental processes, self-perception and self-experience in the dancers everyday work will be main focus of this course. Regarding teaching and coaching dancers, different concepts and approaches will be discussed and trained how to best transmit specific contents and information within the context of dance.
