  • Kim Hutt talks about periodization in dance training. This episode looks at trends typically seen in dancers' workloads, distiniguishing cognitive, creative, and physical work, and taking into account individual differences in students, all informed by Kim's own research into periodization & the impressive programme at ArtEZ. We discuss periodization for both injury prevention and performance enhancement, as well as what these ideals look like in the real dance world.

  • Gene Moyle gives an introduction to performance psychology. The first in a series of two episodes, we look at dance training behaviours, traditional training methods, and both dancer and teacher attitudes to training. This episode discusses how attitudes to training may influence behavioural responses, and how performance psychology can support this for performance enhancement.
