Overview

Performing Arts Medicine is a multidisciplinary specialization combining the fields of performing arts and healthcare. The book focuses on performing arts medicine as an occupational health that impacts wellness in public health and imparts the arts in healing. It shares knowledge from experienced practitioners, novel research findings, region-specific dance experiences, and uses of body-mind movements for healing. The first part opens with a chapter on vivid illustrations of the risky stage setups and long hours of bodily abusive practice and ends with a chapter that explores the new conceptual frame of neurophenomenology as a philosophy and methodology in musician training and rehabilitation. The second and third parts address multi-disciplinary collaborative voice care plans, joint hypermobility, performance anxiety, resilience, performance-related traumatic stress disorder, communal healing through drumming as medicine, and dance as healing agent for societal and medical problems.
