Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n

Somatics (Greek soma \u2013 ‘body’) can be defined as a holistic self-education process, in which a person finds the most optimal way to purposefully move without stress. Somatics encompasses a wide range of disciplines, often overlapping with medicine, physical therapy, physiology, as well as consciousness-based practices, such as yoga, meditation, Tai chi etc. This artistic research paper focuses on the connection of mind and thinking with the performer\u2019s physiology. Although called “transverse”, the flute is actually held obliquely, with the head slightly turned to the left, therefore for flutists, whose posture is asymmetrical, developing a thorough understanding of complex connections between various parts of the body and the various processes involved, is of paramount importance. The aim of the research is to develop a flute playing methodology based on the latest somatic theories and practices, which would provide performers with a wide range of means to improve and to find the most suitable individual way to move, to efficiently acquire new skills, and to achieve maximum artistic results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
