The Course
Excessive tension is the enemy of the actor. Alexander Technique helps you to become more aware of your tension patterns so that you can release them. In this course, we will tackle a range of practical procedures to explore this technique. You will become aware of, and unlearn habits of misuse that appear as tension. The result is freer and more natural breathing and voice, ease of movement, and the increased ability to focus. By practising over a 6 week period you will have the chance to develop between sessions and to revisit procedures so that they become part of your actor’s toolkit.
Maximum group size: 10 Some topics covered: - Observation of individual movement habits, and developing your own powers of observation - Tools to release tension as a preparation for work - Performance anxiety - Body mapping - Finding the neutral body as a basis for building character - Exploring a unified field of attention - Semi-supine active rest - Applying Alexander work to text - Private lessons are also available. NOTE: PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THIS COURSE IS TAUGHT ENTIRELY IN ENGLISH. Morgan Symes
