Members Benefits

The members of this organization will help maintain the Rehearsing Wellness webpage and create events for the whole student body and themselves. The Webpage will provide a forum and resource center for performing artists that would like to focus on their mental, physical, and emotional health. This will provide members and the whole student body with new ways to approach their health by exploring niche medical practices such as somatic awareness, movement therapy, specialized therapy, etc. through our resource center. Also, students studying sciences will be exposed to and can explore new career paths in the health field involving the arts, such as art therapy. Also, students studying visual arts may help us maintain the webpage, students studying politics and human rights will be able to speak on and learn about critical issues in the performing arts careers, and students studying English or journalism can help us review and edit blog posts and resources that they are interested in. Students will also be able to share stories and personal journals about their experiences in the performing arts world and connect with their peers through the blog and forum. Here members can find support and advocacy for prominent issues they may feel passionately about in the world of Performing Art Health. Finally, events we plan to host throughout the year will be open to the entire student body and will expose them to many new areas of health practices. We plan to have art therapy classes and therapeutic dance classes, educational health seminars from professionals, town halls for the whole student body about their health, and fundraising events for various art health centers. We believe we can create a space for health-focused student projects and create a movement towards better health care practices for artists and students alike.
