Dr Peta Blevins, dance scientist, educator, researcher, and consultant, talks about her research into psychological recovery for dancers. Peta chats about her PhD work, the practical applications of knowledge about recovery, and student/teacher attitudes towards psychological recovery. We look at mindfulness as a method of recovery for dancers and potential benefits of applying elements of this in our own practice, also highlighting the importance of a non-judgemental atmosphere and language shift to "noticing". Peta offers suggestions for how dancers and teachers could begin to apply this in the studio.
