The Neuroscience of Emotion: Individuality, Interpretation, and Anxiety
Thursday 2nd December 2021, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)
This short course will unpack the essence of emotion from a neuroscience perspective to improve all aspects of our vocal lives.
Human emotion is coupled to all we do, including practice and performance.
Emotions can enhance our abilities, but other times they can be detrimental to our process.
Clarity in our interoceptive experiences can help us design mental and physical interventions.
We will discuss solutions for pre-performance anxieties, optimizing practice, emotion as a vocal tool, learning, and the student-teacher dynamic.
Through a deeper understanding of our brain-body continuum we can not only optimize ourselves as singers, but as humans as well.
