Art of Awareness Morning + Evening in-studio Classes starting in February 2022

These are NOT month-to-month classes. Both offerings require multiple month commitments.

The classes are a full body approach to acting. Integrating your awareness of breath, body + voice with scene work. You will begin with investigating your spontaneous + controlled behaviours. Then make the bridge to relationships and connecting to the outside world and others. An organic and empowering process to ignite or re-ignite your connection to your intuition. You will begin to make space in your body to truly trust yourself and your choices.

You are your instrument.

Remember the thrill of living in the moment while diving deep and following through...allowing one moment to inform the next.

Spontaneous movement, voice + choice

 A combo of Fitzmaurice Voicework® and The Meisner Technique: "The perfect balance of acting, voice, body and breath work.Together we will explore what it feels like to be authentic, present and spontaneous in our creative as well as our everyday lives.

The class is a whole-body approach for anyone interested in developing their body and voice expression for better communication and strengthened creativity. This work combines yoga, ball work, shiatsu, Reichian bodywork and other meditative practices. FitzMeisner integrates these elements to help empower each individual to trust and allow instincts. Through a series of acting, voice and body exercises you'll begin to loosen the grip on your breath, body and brain.

- transform nervousness into vibrancy

*Bring one or two performance pieces, either text, song, a poem or all 3 to work with during the workshop.  Something that inspires/means something to you or a character you really want to explore. *Have these pieces memorized.*  Shakespeare and contemporary monologues need not be longer than 16 lines.
