We are unable to accommodate observers for this workshop. About the Workshop Interdisciplinary artist and teacher, Fabio Tavares, returns to The Actors Center for a series of four Friday mornings devoted to the Alexander Technique. Alexander’s own quest began as an attempt to solve his vocal issues. Later on he realized that breath, body and voice were all part of the same organism, all deeply connected to his thinking. In order to look at voice and breath we need to understand how the body works. The body produces the voice. In this workshop, Fabio will guide an exploration of ideas and activities that will encourage our bodies to release in order to produce sound and movement with more ease and flow. Whether on stage or on set, the principles are the same. A freer body will produce a freer sound. In the latter part of each session, participants will be invited to bring in film or TV sides to work on-camera and explore adjustments in the work. Sessions run weekly, 10am-1pm.
