"MOVEMENT FOR ACTORS"
Intro to the Alexander Technique and Viewpoints
with SAM BANGS
Are you aware of what your body is doing while you're acting? Are you using it to embody your character, or are you falling into physical ticks that hinder your ability to truly connect? Body-awareness for actors is often overlooked as part of acting training, but can be one of the most crucial elements in becoming a well-rounded actor. The Alexander Technique and Viewpoints are two great approaches to ensuring that your character and their story is not only being told vocally, but physically as well. After finding your body's neutral position, we can explore what effects other actors and the acting space can have on the creation of character and the most effective way of physically expressing yourself.
