How to… Build Resilience into Your Dance Career II

with: Benjamin Joon (mindfulness coach), Boglárka Simon-Hatala & István Simon (Praetorian Non-Profit Art and Health Consulting)

at: TiB e.V., Columbiadamm 111, 10965 Berlin

We live in a time of growing uncertainty. The last two years have tested us all in our resilience, especially dancers have been heavily impacted. Yet, dealing with uncertainty, navigating success and adversity is deeply ingrained within the professional dance career. On certain days, dancers may feel joyful and light, while other days may feel frustrating and heavy. A dancer’s body, mind, and artistry are constantly challenged (not only) in dance classes and on stage. In this practically oriented workshop, you will learn about personal attitudes, movement and mental practices that can help you build resilience and cope more effectively with artistic highs and lows. We can’t wait to finally meet you face to face!
