in
Regenerative Movement and Vocal Techniques"</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br>
Culminating a free exchange of ideas between cultures and art forms,
Fulbrighter and world dance artist Maureen Fleming along with Professor
and
vocalist from the Seoul Institute for the Arts Eun Young Choi will
present
research in regenerative movement and vocal techniques that are
initiated
through the use of training systems involving delicate and refined
imagery to
produce combined movement and vocal flexibility in performance.<br>
<br>
¡°Fleming Technique¡± involves the use of an elastic band suspended from
a point
8ft high and attached to the limbs of the practitioner creating
resistance and
support. Through original repetitive exercises, incorporating the ¡°Ten
Images¡±
defined by Fleming through her life long research into imagery
underlying
regenerative movement, she has maintained the flexibility needed for
her
acclaimed performances, which range from a recent presentation in the
Fall for
Dance Festival at City<br>
Center in New York City to upcoming performances at the Dong Nang Art
Center in
Seoul, Korea. ¡°Fleming Technique¡± was recently taught at the Juilliard
School.<br>
<br>
However, it was during Fleming's Fulbright residency at the Seoul
Institute for
the Arts that she was able to research both traditional Korean vocal
techniques
and the vocal work of Eun Young Choi who will join Maureen Fleming in
the
Fulbright Forum. Through the common ground of imagery or ¡°mind
pictures¡±
driving the use of muscle, both movement and vocal capacity expand to
produce
increased capacity in both daily training and performance.<br>
<br>
<b>Maureen Fleming</b>, an American choreographer, has gained
international

York City
Center (2006), the<br>
