Using the Alexander Technique to Create Unforgettable Performances -

Taught by Bill Connington - Lecturer in Acting, Yale School of Drama



Ever feel stressed in auditions or before a performance? Have people told you you need to work on your posture or movement? Does your breath or confidence sometimes fail you? Time to try the Alexander Technique.

This new 4-week workshop helps you discover (or re-discover) your center and focus, and deliver stronger performances in the audition room AND on stage. Each week, students will perform pieces from their repertoire while getting gentle hands-on and verbal guidance from an Alexander expert who works at Yale School of Drama.

Learn to release your mind, body, and breath in an organic way, so that you can feel good about last minute auditions, improvisations, and performances. The Alexander Technique has been used by generations of actors, singers, dancers, and musicians as an effective tool for improved alignment and breathing, finding your center, and delivering unforgettable performances.
