Truth on the Downbeat: an introduction to authentic singing-acting with the Alexander Technique - Online 4 Class Series

  • Balance Arts Center 151 West 30th Street New York, NY, 10001 United States (map)

In a series of four classes, singer-actor and Alexander Technique teacher Matt Cahill (currently faculty at the Metropolitan Opera’s Lindemann Young Artist Development Program and Circle in the Square Theatre School) will guide participants through a step-by-step process to deliver and embodied, present, performance first as themselves and then as a character. The first class will examine participants' own primary patterns of movement and thinking. The second class will bring awareness of those patterns into performance as we explore performing without a character as in singer/songwriter, art song recitals, or cabaret. The third class will examine participants’ secondary or alternative options of movement and thinking in search of possible characters. The final class will bring these alternative patterns into performance as an exploration of truthful singing as a character.

This online class series takes place 10/20, 10/27, 11/3, & 11/10 from 4:30-6pm EST. Participants can sign up for the full 4 Class Series or drop in to individual class sessions.
