Wellness at Eastman is a monthly seminar series from Eastman Performing Arts Medicine (EPAM) featuring artists and clinicians speaking to physical and mental wellness for performing artists.
Inspired by the Healthy Conservatoires movement in Europe, presentation topics this year include: the benefits of warming up and cooling down; peak performance on stage, nutrition’s effect on performing; incorporating mindfulness in your everyday music practice; mental health in music schools; and caring for your voice.
The next Wellness at Eastman seminar will be on November 3 at 6 p.m. What is the “Arts in Health” Field? brings together a panel of four Eastman alumni who are breaking new ground in the arts in health field, something Eastman Performing Arts Medicine has been a part of for three years now. Panelists will include:
Missy Fogarty

Missy Fogarty ‘91E, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, music psychotherapist

More information about each panelist is available on the Wellness at Eastman site.
