Somatic Practice 3

Perquisite: CFA TH 237. This course will continue to build upon the Alexander Technique as a somatic practice while introducing breath work as an additional tool in the actor's arsenal. Body awareness will continue to improve as students observe and change habitual patterns in walking and breathing so that they can find and occupy a 'true neutral.' Inhabiting a character by beginning from this true neutral will be applied to each student's R&P assignment. Individual, one-on-one tutorials will occur throughout the semester to address habits of tension and foster sustainability for the actor during their rehearsal process.
