This one-day workshop is a practical introduction to how the Alexander Technique can be used by actors to unlock greater freedom, presence, and responsiveness in performance.
It’s ideal for actors who want to deepen their connection to themselves and discover a greater sense of ease, flow, and truth in their work.
Rooted in direct, embodied experience, the day offers a first-hand exploration of how releasing habitual tension can lead to more spontaneous, imaginative, and grounded performance.
You’ll be guided through foundational procedures and simple awareness-based tools, helping you notice and shift unconscious habits that get in the way of connection and expression. The approach is experiential and actor-centred — not about “getting it right,” but about discovering how ease can become a gateway to transformation.
The afternoon focuses on extended scene work, where actors begin applying these principles in action. Drawing inspiration from Michael Chekhov’s psychophysical approach, this segment encourages intuitive responsiveness and a deeper sense of creative play.
While the technique can’t be mastered in a day, this workshop offers a clear, practical starting point — a powerful glimpse into how Alexander work can enrich and support your craft over time.
Participants will leave with practical tools and embodied insights they can continue to develop further alone and with guidance, leading toward greater freedom and aliveness in performance.
