DR 632 Alexander Technique

Students learn and begin to apply principles of the Alexander Technique to class work. The objective: to enable students to free the body for maximum efficiency of self-expression by identifying unwanted movement patterns and emotional constrictions and by releasing bodily tension. Students learn to move with more ease and freedom, and in general become more conscious of and accountable for the ways in which they use their bodies. Class work includes simple anatomy, developmental movement, monologue video critique, breathing, and relaxation techniques. Private hands-on sessions are included in the course work. For M.F.A. students.
