*Prerequisite: Green Shirt Studio’s Level 1 Meisner class or equivalent*
The Alexander Technique (AT) helps actors release tension, free the body, and connect more fully to impulse. In this workshop, we'll explore how AT can:
Enhance presence and grounding
Sharpen emotional sensitivity
Spark spontaneity and authenticity
Deepen your Meisner work by freeing the instrument from habitual tension
Through gentle hands-on guidance, we'll practice channeling impulses with immediacy - letting self-consciousness fade and connecting repetition to our gut impulses.
