Episode 27: Justine Cormack ”There’s just so much wisdom that our bodies have”

My guest this episode is Justine Cormack – a seriously accomplished violinist, creative performance coach and analogy enthusiast from New Zealand. We chat about her move from the city to the countryside, her Grand Designs featured house and her philosophy Listen Feel Play, which focuses on harnessing physical awareness in movement that we can bring to our music-making, by getting out of our heads and listening to, feeling and exploring what’s going on in our bodies instead.  Find out about her day of food and her plant-based milk of choice (why does this topic always come up with New Zealanders.)

 

This episode features a Music College Didn't Prepare Me segment involving masks (with a slightly off-the-cuff rant about suffering from Resting B*tch Face) during a rather peculiar summer.
