Interacting with the Ground
The same relationship exists for a performer and the ground. Learn how to relate to the ground more naturally, taking advantage of the support for dynamic movement it offers! I will be digging into this on Thursday, January 18th 12-3pm EST

And finally iteration 3 We practiced inhibition, awareness while building community and having fun 🤸🏼♀️🤸🏽🤸🏽♂️🤪
One of our recent warm ups in Body Mapping 1 & 2 class was balloon volleyball. This guy everyone moving and required awareness to keep the balloons off of the floor. Thanks to Evan Beyer for the idea. 🔥 New England Conservatory #bodymapping #movementmatters #musician

Hey - join me for Parkour for more great lessons and to face fear that all informs being a musician! https://pkgenboston.com/
After Covid I changed the format of my classes and began starting each Body Mapping class with a game. Many of the games I learned at Parkour. I did this to build community and get my musicians having FUN! Last night we did reaction time training. An important part of being a collaborative musician. We can improve our reaction time with games like this. #bodymapping #musician #playing New England Conservatory
Group plays are part of every class. I feel it is so important to explore a concept in the process of music making. Here we are in week 2 exploring the senses. It’s fantastic to have instrumentalists and singers and even conductors together to learn from one another. New England Conservatory Association for Body Mapping Education
Spring semester has started! Week 1 we mapped the spine and actually assembled the vertebrae intona complete spine. It is really informative to get hands on models of the bones and see how they relate to each other. New England Conservatory Association for Body Mapping Education

Modeling the movements of breathing in groups. This is from a few weeks back. Bringing the movements to life with models created by groups of students was a powerful experience. New England Conservatory
At the beginning of every BMg class we start with a game to wake up the brain, challenge awareness and have fun! Yes, fun! Tonight we did a fun partner game that took awareness, mental flexibility and inhibition. I LOVE starting classes like this. It builds community among class members and gets us having fun which should be a part of music-making imho. New England Conservatory #bodymapping #musician #movementmatters
A stroke of inspiration hit me as I was working on writing a book! Read about how I faced a fear... I have been thinking a lot about fear lately. Well, not just thinking, experiencing fear. Something interesting is emerging, I am noticing the fear early. I am recognizing the narratives it tells me and I am not getting sucked into the fear spirals my mind creates. Not a perfect science but it is interesting, new and empowering. https://vanessamulvey.substack.com/p/fear-spirals-and-news
