"The Technique’s many benefits for actors include minimized tension, centeredness, vocal relaxation and responsiveness, mind/body connection and about an inch and a half of additional height!”

Your Body Is Your Instrument
How you play your instrument affects its performance. The Alexander Technique studies the “use of self”, or the use of your instrument. Because mental, as well as physical habits can limit an artists range of expression during performance, we work with more than just posture or movement. We include how one thinks.

The Alexander Technique provides a means of identifying and abandoning unwanted habits as well as replacing them with more coordinated and healthful choices.

For The Performing Artist This Can Provide:
• Greater creative freedom physically, vocally and mentally
• Heightened sense of ease and spontaneity in performance
• Increased physical strength and endurance

The Alexander Technique is Taught Worldwide in Universities and Conservatories. Some well known programs include:
Juilliard School, the New England Conservatory of Music, Yale School of Drama, UCLA School of Theatre, Film and Television, Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, The Royal College of Music, and The Verbier Festival and Academy.

Noted Performing Artists Have Used the Alexander Technique for Over 100 Years. Among today’s artists are:
Robin Williams, Maggie Smith, William Hurt, Jeremy Irons, Sting, Paul McCartney, Kevin Spacey, Patrick Stewart, James Earl Jones, Paul Newman, Lynn Redgrave, Joanne Woodward, Sir Colin Davis, and members of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra.
