What does the performer do with the body on stage when s/he is not dancing, fighting, or doing acrobatics? "What do I do with my hands?" and "How should I stand?" are signals that the performer is not comfortable with his/her body. How and why a person moves the way they do is linked with finding ways to create action and overcome obstacles on stage. These Private Coachings will explore dynamics, rhythm, and the use of three-dimensional movements, aiding in the union of the text, music, and the performer’s entire self.
Explore and utilize the performer's complete Psycho-physical energy ; i.e., both physical and mental energies.
Provide techniques for greater control over expression by linking specific acting techniques to generating emotions and action.
Create and sustain variety from one aria or monologue to the next in the audition process.
