Alexander Technique for Actors & Musicians
“Alexander has really helped me with tension issues and being able to open up and not block emotion from coming up. ”
“As an actor, being able to take on the shape of a character is very important. I have found that working an office job or even spending hours at a computer on creative projects has created habits and patterns in my body which not only cause me discomfort but also inhibit my physical possibilities as a performer. Working with Lindsay has not only helped me move with less pain and more freedom but has also given me greater physical range on stage.”
Poor postural habits narrow an actor's range and lead to vocal strain. Musicians often suffer from repetitive strain injury, breathing issues, or stage fright.
The Alexander Technique will equip you with the skills to move, breathe, and speak, or sing energetically and without strain. You’ll become more present, calm, emotionally available, and able to respond moment to moment in a scene. Musicians can learn to sing and play with less strain and more enjoyment.
Lindsay studied acting and earned her BFA from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. She has taught Alexander Technique on the faculty of The American Academy of Dramatic Arts, has been a guest teacher in university classrooms, a rehearsal coach, and has taught workshops for actors.
The Alexander Technique is taught at many top performing arts institutions in the US and worldwide and benefits actors, musicians, and dancers.
