Somatic Arts Concert

The Somatic Arts Concert is a student directed event sponsored by the Somatic Psychology Department. The Somatic Arts Concert was created in 1996 by Janice Beard-Bull, a former director of the Somatic Psychology Department. Currently, Somatic Psychology students, staff, faculty, alumni, friends and family come together to create this concert out of love for expression, passion for the performing arts and desire for community. This concert happens annually at the end of January or the very beginning of February and runs for one weekend (Friday and Saturday nights at 8pm and a 2pm matinee on Sunday). This concert is a venue for performance art of all kinds including, but not limited to, dance, poetry reading, music, voice, acrobatics, aerial work, martial arts, drama, story telling, improvisation, circus arts, spoken word and comedy. The process of preparing for this show begins early in September with introductory meetings and continues through the fall with scheduled times for showing work and receiving feedback from other performers, the student directors and the faculty/staff advisors. All proceeds from the Somatic Arts Concert fund scholarships for students in the Graduate Somatic Psychology Program.
