Lectures, Workshops and Residencies
The Balance Arts Center is pleased to offer lectures, workshops, and week-long residencies to University Fine and Performing Arts Divisions as well as individual Departments in the Alexander Technique.
The Alexander Technique is a method of thinking and learning that provides a way of improving and refining balance and movement awareness. The expanded mind/body experience is then integrated into one’s work. Students learn to recognize how critical the artist’s own body use, functioning, and coordination are to their best and most skillful expressive work. The Alexander Technique is directly applicable to all art forms.
The Balance Arts Center can adapt to your particular curriculum and setting. Several sample options are listed below to give you a sense of possible class arrangements.
Graduates and students from the Balance Arts Alexander Technique Teacher Training class will join the main teacher in giving the workshops whenever possible.
All of the options below work well for interdisciplinary groups and single art forms such as singing, painting, or photography if all of the students are learning that discipline.
1. Introductory Lecture/demonstration.
Sessions can range from 45 minutes to 3 hours.
Small group to large lectures are possible.
The smaller the number of students, the more individual attention and experience each person will receive.
2. Weekend - Four 2-3 hour group sessions.
Session 1: Introduction to a large group.
Sessions 2-3: Smaller groups or art specific groups
Session 4: Continue small groups or return to large group.
Master class setting is an option.
3. Four-day.
Each day will include one or two group sessions (dependent on scheduling) and each student will receive two private hands-on sessions in the four days. The length of the private session will be dependent on the number of students attending the workshop.
Expanded workshop where performance students have the possibility of performing for each other at the end of the week. Each day will consist of group sessions, private lessons, and direct work in their discipline.
