By first asking you to identify your own acquired habits, the technique enables you to find new and beneficial ways of moving, thinking, breathing and performing, freely and without unnecessary tension. Written by an experienced teacher of the Alexander Technique, this book takes you step by step through a series of eleven guided lessons, and dozens of exercises and assignments. Each explores different elements and principles of the technique, including: - Training your mind to stay present, and mindful of your environment- Thinking (but not overthinking!) in new ways- Observing and developing your natural poise - Sitting, standing and walking easily and effortlessly- Breathing and speaking with release and relaxation- Applying all of your work to characterisation and performance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You'll Love This Ebook\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaster the foundational principles of the Alexander Technique\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevelop physical freedom, presence, and breath control on stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply this celebrated technique to enhance any performance work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrain with Nick Hern Books' authoritative actor wellness guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e'Very useful… a thorough introduction to the Alexander Technique... covering posture, breathing and voice, all geared towards what an actor needs to be able to do to create a performance on stage... could have a significant effect on an actor's performance and provide more tools in their skillset' \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBritish Theatre Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e'Wonderfully rich in content... inviting, friendly, clear, humorous, and always encouraging and supportive of her students' learning...
