It promotes awareness of fine motor action for improved levels of action and skill, as well as healing for those who are injured. For creative artists, the Feldenkrais Method enables them to refine and improve their work. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book offers historical, scientific and practical perspectives that develop thinking at the heart of the Method and is divided into three sections: \u003ci\u003e Historical Perspectives on Creative Practice\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFrom Science into Creative Practice\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eStudies in Creative Practice\u003c\/i\u003e. All the essays provide insights into self-improvement, training, avoiding injury, history and philosophy of artistic practice, links between scientific and artistic thinking and practical thinking, as well as offering some exercises for students and artistic practitioners looking to improve their understanding of their practice. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUltimately, this book offers a rich development of the legacy and the ongoing relevance of the Feldenkrais Method. We are shown how it is not just a way of thinking about somatic health, embodiment and awareness, but a vital enactivist epistemology for contemporary artistic thought and practice\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Sholl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350158380\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350158382\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/11\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.63d","brand":"Robert Sholl","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44126845993215,"sku":"9781350158382","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_94a7e291-5149-4b01-add1-39ca95776837.jpg?v=1687450483","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-feldenkrais-method-in-creative-robert-sholl-9781350158382","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
