Robin Möckli & Mark Webster

Widening our Scope of Knowledge with Presence, Voice and Clarity as Tools

We will be looking at the points of contact between work on the voice, which is where Alexander began, presence as practiced in certain types of Tibetan meditation, as well as on the stage. Why does the Alexander Technique produce a state of presence on stage as well as in daily life? With the help of our combined experience in AT as applied to voice work, acting, and meditation we hope to provide some new insights and food for thought. This will be a practical workshop apart from some necessary explanations, involving work with partners and in small groups.
