Somatics for the Actor I

Catalog description

Introduction to psychophysical processes that offers actors an alternative way of thinking about character embodiment beginning with basic physical awareness and the exploration of self. Somatics, from the Greek word for the living body, soma, is the study of the body experienced from within. Conditioning the evolving actor as an artist is a mind/body exercise: strength, balance, flexibility, alignment, and imagery come together as a balanced whole.
