The Actor's Body AT THE ALLIANCE THEATRE
Wednesday afternoon's beginning April 30th-May 21st @ 11AM—1PM (4 classes)
Actors are trained to respond truthfully in moments of imaginary circumstances. Yet inevitably actors will experience moments of tension, rigidity, and stress that interfere with their ability to respond in a believable way.
In this special series, actors will learn to develop their kinesthetic awareness, discover habits of their physical body, and foster better alignment, and breathing.
A few skills you will leave class with:
- Improved self-awareness
- Discovery of the body as an instrument
- Tools to reduce stress + anxiety
- Increased confidence + ease
- Ability to stay present, connected + grounded
This class is based on the principles of the Alexander Technique, a mind/body method that teaches actors how to release unnecessary stress and tension in themselves. This allows actors to access their most natural and authentic responses in their performances and in their daily living.
Through this unique class, you will experience becoming more familiar with your body, breath, and voice so that you can better adapt and embody your characters’ unique expressions.
