This is a site that really captured my interest. I won’t write too much here – rather, I’ll let the site and the information in it speak for itself. Here’s an extract from http://www.creativemotion.org :
Creative Motion is the study of the efficient use of physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional energy which occurs naturally in the body. Creative Motion stirs up and makes that sense of the moving force we call music more tangible, and allows us to experience it within the body and realize it through a performance.
Based upon the universal principles and applied to music, we teach the artistry of music-making from the inside-out. Creative Motion, once mastered, becomes an integral part of your musical life. It is there whenever you need it, guiding you wherever a musical challenge presents itself. Creative Motion begins with your talent, then builds around it a cohesive union of body and mind techniques. These techniques, when efficiently and unselfconsciously engaged, enable you to move beyond the limitations of your talent. It is not unusual to hear a Creative Motion student perform with unexpected maturity. In fact, it is the norm!

Dear Jon:
It is wonderful to see the reference to Creative Motion in your recent blog. I have been most fortunate to be involved in Creative Motion study since 1991 and it has enriched my music and my life in countless ways. Some years ago, I volunteered to help this not-for-profit group in their efforts to spread the word about this important work. Every little bit helps.
Thanks again for the mention. I welcome the opportunity to correspond with you further.
