by Bill (Yale School of Drama, USA) Connington
Part of the Acting Essentials series
Paperback / softback
Description
Introduction to the Alexander Technique, part of the brand-new Acting Essentials series, is the first textbook about the Alexander Technique written specially for undergraduates.
This eight-week program can be taught over the course of half a semester, a full semester, or dipped into as needed to address students’ issues with physicality, movement, breathing, voice and performance habits. The Alexander Technique has been a vital part of training for performers since the early 20th century.
It is a core part of the curriculum at most acting conservatories and in many BFA programs.
Sometimes considered purely a movement discipline, the Alexander Technique in fact takes into consideration the entire person—mind, body, voice, emotions, and imagination.
Introduction to the Alexander Technique addresses the student’s self as a whole and is suitable for beginning acting students in any academic setting, including those who take performance classes as an elective.
The book also includes more than 150 practical, easy-to-follow exercises that help students reduce tension and improve their alignment, flexibility, and poise. The textbook is supported by a range of online videos demonstrating key exercises described throughout the book.
