ABSTRACT The author shares from her experience the mindset of dancers that is engrained by the rigors of training and the perfectionism around form. She then points to how this over-analysis of self and posture can be a pitfall when dancers are Rolfing® clients, and how practitioners can best communicate with them in a way that leads to ease rather than further control.

The author asserts that dance requires the Rolfer to learn to see a dynamic ‘Line’ (rather than rely on the classic, static ‘Line’ used in Rolfing® Structural Integration) as a marker to assess structural balance. Moreover, a dynamic ‘Line’ looks at more than structural alignment, taking into consideration balance, power, strength, transmission, symmetry and asymmetry, and the art and culture of the dance.

With this brief article, I’d like to speak from my decades of experience as a professional singer and a voice trainer working with professional singers. My narrow topic is a review and commentary on the book Anatomy of Voice: How to Enhance and Project Your Best Voice by Blandine Calais-Germain and François Germain (Healing Arts Press 2013), and my broader topic is what can be gleaned from a book about voice versus what generally can only be learned through one-on-one work with a voice expert. This we can call the difference between knowing-what versus knowing-how.

The author is a professional opera singer and singing teacher who has observed the effects of the Rolfing® Structural Integration (SI) Ten Series on his own voice and on others. He discusses the potential impact of Rolfing SI on vocal production, both in the classic themes of breathwork and grounding, but also in more specialized anterior neck and laryngeal work. Rolfers should consider including an element of audio assessment in their standard body-reading practices.
