INTD 1251 Embodying Choices for the Actor

In this course we will approach a piece of text from a dramatic work of the students’ choice and prepare it for performance using principles of self-coordination based on the Alexander Technique. This integrative method of understanding the bio-psycho-physical self-empowers practitioners to listen deeply to the whole self while in activity. Class time will be spent on basic anatomical principles, body mapping, one on one coaching in a group context, ensemble work, acting exercises, and performance. This class is open to students of all abilities and skill-level.
