Performing Wellness
Uniting Artists and Healthcare Providers for Healing
Are you a passionate expert in the field of performing arts healthcare or an accomplished performing artist with insights to share?
We want to hear from you!
The AAHC Speaker Series is thrilled to announce its upcoming event: "Performing Wellness - Uniting Artists and Healthcare Providers for Healing."
We are currently seeking dynamic and engaging speakers to contribute to this transformative series.
Harmonizing Health & Artistry
The vision for the AAHC Speaker Series is to create a collaborative space that facilitates knowledge-sharing between expert clinicians and the local performing arts community. We aim to enhance the way performing artists' health is viewed and managed, promoting prevention, overall well-being and prolonged careers in their specific genres.
Spotlighting Wisdom & Collaboration
As a speaker in the "Performing Wellness" series, you'll have the opportunity to put the spotlight on your unique expertise. Performing artist health and wellness is an area of ongoing research and discovery, demanding continuous sharing of knowledge. This series provides an accessible and affordable platform for both sides of the artistic athlete health community - the athletes and the clinicians - to share their wisdom as one community.
Bridging Artists & Clinicians
Our event series bridges the gap between artists and clinicians, catering to two rotating audiences on a monthly basis, the Performing Arts Community audience and the Performing Arts Healthcare Community.
Series Kick Off: Celebrating Art and Wellness
The series will kick off in September 2023 with an exciting event focused on dance educators. Register here.
Fusion of In-Person & Virtual Experience
The AAHC Speaker Series will be a hybrid event, offering both in-person and virtual attendance options with access to recordings after the event. This approach ensures maximum accessibility and allows speakers to reach a broad and diverse audience.
