This Doesn’t Feel Like Work At All

I love talking to people about performance wellbeing. It’s the kind of thing that doesn’t feel like work for me at all. This month I have the pleasure of chatting with these two incredibly insightful people shedding light on topics that are close to a musician’s heart.

FINDING YOUR POTENTIAL THROUGH DISPOKINESIS WITH ELISABETH DE MERODE

Thursday 6th May at 10 am BST inside the Wellbeing for Musicians Facebook Group

Starting from a desire to understand the human brain, the body and how they can function optimally, Elisabeth followed a training in Dispokinesis in Germany (2012 – 2015), a method that allows musicians to find their potential. She often relies on this knowledge when teaching.

A flute player and graduate of conservatories in Brussels, Vienna and Bern, Elisabeth has extensive experience as an orchestral and chamber musician as well as teacher. She specialises in the Interdisciplinary art of musical theatre, where she has been engaged in multiple projects and festivals before starting to produce her own projects and shows with her ensemble Compagnie Bis!!
