ABSTRACT In this interview by SFI Journal editor and Rolfer Jeffrey Kinnunen, New York Rolfer™ David George Delaney discusses the release of his book Intrinsic Singing (2024). Although the book primarily aims at singers and actors, Rolfers and all somatically-minded people will benefit from its message of authentic self-expression. Delaney draws from his decades of experience delivering Rolfing sessions to professional singers and actors, as well as his training with his singing vocal instructor Margaret Laughlin Riddleberger (1924-2009), among other modalities. Delaney reflects on the impact Rolfing® Structural Integration had on his own voice and body.

ABSTRACT In this interview with Dr. Ida Rolf Institute® (DIRI) faculty member Kevin McCoy, the elements of fascia, persistent pain, and pelvic architecture are explored. Starting with a personal story about his own injury in childhood that impacted his own pelvic alignment, McCoy gives a useful analogy of people who develop chronic pain. Drawing from his studies with Dr. Carla Stecco and Dr. Antonio Stecco, McCoy discusses the fascial layers of the pelvis, and how he thinks about fascial organization and tissue relationships, while he works with people who have pelvic pain.
