Prevention in Musical Theatre and Dance
A syllabus for multipliers at schools and theatres

The basis for a successful education or career is determined by the capabilities of one’s own body. The body is thus the most important asset for a career. Supporting or facilitating worktools to maintain the body in the work process are seldom, if ever, found in musical theatre or professional dance. Therefore, the often maximum psychological and physical loads resulting from education and professional career directly affect the almost unprotected body. That implies that even small physical limitations can endanger or even prevent the vocational education or the subsequent professional career.
The training module based on the principle of a "Self-care orientated teaching syllabus" (Scotsy) was developed for teachers at musical and dance schools as well as for multipliers in theatres to instruct dancers.
