Movement Training
Where breath meets expression. Rooted in yoga and somatic awareness, my classes support artists and non-artists alike in building strength, grounding, and clarity—onstage and off. These sessions invite you to connect with your body as a source of creativity, healing, and presence.
Integral Yoga
Integral Yoga is a comprehensive system for personal transformation-physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. The practice incorporates postures, deep relaxation, breathing practices, and meditation that result in a profound experience of peace and well-being. This practice is for everyone of any age or condition and encourages one to explore each posture at one’s own pace, mindfully observing what arises without judgement or expectation. By balancing effort and surrender, one discovers their individual optimal flow of energy to achieve greater flexibility, strength, poise, and mental focus. Besides promoting the health of all the systems of the body, the Integral Yoga system is designed to draw one into a physical and mental stillness that leads to an experience of one’s true nature, which is ever peaceful and happy.
Suzuki Method
Developed by internationally acclaimed director Tadashi Suzuki and the Suzuki Company of Toga, the Suzuki Method’s principal concern is with restoring the wholeness of the human body to the theatrical context and uncovering the actor’s innate expressive abilities. A rigorous physical discipline drawn from such diverse influences as ballet, traditional Japanese and Greek theater, and martial arts, the training seeks to heighten the actor’s emotional and physical power and commitment to each moment on the stage. Attention is on the lower body and a vocabulary of footwork, sharpening the actor’s breath control and concentration.
Viewpoints
Viewpoints is a technique of improvisation that grew out of the postmodern dance world. It was first articulated by choreographer Mary Overlie, who broke down the two dominant issues performers were dealing with -time and space- into six categories. She called her approach the Six Viewpoints. SITI Company’s Anne Bogart and company members expanded 0verlie’s notions and adapted them for actors. The Viewpoints allows a group of actors to function together spontaneously and intuitively, and to generate bold, theatrical work quickly. It develops flexibility, articulation, and strength in movement and facilitates ensemble building.
