Perfecting Performance

Performing artists are athletes. Like athletes, performing artists practice and/or perform most days with little off season, play through pain, "compete" in challenging environments, and risk career-threatening injury.  There are several organizations, institutions and universities who have engaged in collaborative exchange and application of wellness, training and performance research and initiatives to integrate the science of sport and the performing arts for the mutual benefit of both.  (Photo: University of Northern Iowa)
