The Alexander Technique

Today, I found this article about the usefulness of The Alexander Technique in acting.

I found this article very interesting and I am very happy that I stumbled upon it. The Alexander Technique is something that myself as a performer should really look in to. On stage, what happened to the people mentioned in the article tends to also happen to me. I will get nervous and then in an effort to have energy, bunch up my upper body creating a restriction for air and voice. I also lose my flexibility with my body and my ability to react truly and spontaneously.

This is something that I believe I should really look into and study. I believe I would learn a lot and would be able to fix so many physical habits that I tend to do on stage that are not good for either my voice or body.

In other news, today was the first day rehearsing Midsummer Nights Dream with the entire cast. It was very fun to see everybody and to see what they have been working on and I know that this will be a great show.
