| Personal Statement:
|
| This training has
revolutionized my approach to my own acting as well as my
teaching. What I enjoy most about sharing this approach with
others is that we all have near-instant success based upon
the student's own awareness. This is a wonderful, fun way of
integrating the body, voice and human spirit into character
and text. I see myself as a "guide" rather than a teacher,
as I trust the "kinesensic" awareness of this training
empowers the student to continue learning for a lifetime. I
love to watch my students rediscover their own creativity
and sense of fearless play, which has often been hidden from
them for years! And the health benefits of these breathing
techniques, posture and whole body approach extend far
beyond the "stage." |
