Join us on February 22 from 7-8pm in Simon SM344 for a presentation from Dr. Amanda Moreno from Ball State on BODY MAPPING!

Performance is often considered part of the artistic process – a goal, a result, a measure of accomplishment. However, such an item is also often accompanied by feelings of nervousness and anxiety. However prepared we may be, we cannot always avoid the proverbial stomach butterflies, particularly in this post-COVID age. Through this presentation, BSU faculty member and Licensed Body Mapping Educator Dr. Amanda Moreno will share information and insights about ways to acknowledge and even manage such anxiety. These insights can be helpful for musicians, actors, dancers, even visual artists.
