Lecture & Workshop door Peter Prommel

Peter will briefly revisit the essential principles of his combined Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) courses that he did for CvA, called “Mindfulness Practice”.

He will also shortly introduce two influential perspectives on how the brain and nervous system respond to challenge: Paul Gilbert’s evolutionary model of the three interacting emotional systems and Stephen Porges’ Polyvagal Theory.

Peter will then introduce his own practical model: Awareness of the ThreePart Body, which is directly helpful on the stage.
The lecture will conclude with a series of simple, memorable exercises that can be practised in daily life and applied directly before and during stressful performances.
