무용수를 위한 Feldenkrais 인지치유프로그램 설계

Abstract

As science and technology rapidly advance, there is growing interest in ap- proaches that enhance human physical and cognitive capabilities through inte- grated methods. This study explores the application of the Feldenkrais Method as a cognitive healing program aimed at improving self-awareness, physical func- tionality, and performance ability in dancers. In the first stage of the program, dancers cultivate self-awareness by under- standing the anatomical structure and function of their bodies, and by recognizing their physical conditions and habitual movement patterns. In the second stage, despite individual differences in perception and experi- ence, the activation of sensorimotor systems facilitates muscle relaxation, increas- es flexibility and range of motion, and improves postural stability. These changes contribute to enhanced movement efficiency and execution. In the final stage, dancers develop organic cognitive patterns that foster cre- ative thinking, expressive movement, flexible interpersonal communication, and emotional regulation. The program also supports injury prevention and self-heal- ing processes. These outcomes suggest that the Feldenkrais-based cognitive heal- ing program can serve as a foundational framework for future dance education methodologies and performance enhancement strategies.
