For Actors

Dramatic Actress

"When you are fully aware of a movement you can change the intensity, speed, rhythm and intonation. An act can be reflective, unconscious, automatic, or fully conscious and aware. Acquiring a new mode of doing needs awareness... When learning is completed the action may become automatic or even unconscious." 

Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais.  Image, Movement and Actor: Restoration of Potentiality. Tulane Drama Review (1966).

Actors communicate their art with their body and voice. It is essential for actors to learn themselves in depth, so they can have a repertoire of movements, gestures and postures to choose from, and clear control over their instruments. 

​

Here are some of the ways the Feldenkrais work can help actors achieve their goals:

​

  • Develop a clear awareness and self image for your movement

  • Improve your spatial awareness

  • Increase your expression choices through fine details

  • Learn the art of being present

  • Learn to sense feelings and emotions in your body

  • Free your voice

“In Moshé Feldenkrais at long last I have met someone with a scientific formation who possesses a global mastery of his subject. He has studied the body in movement with a precision that I have found nowhere else. For him the body is one whole. It is out of this notion that he has developed his teachings in which most of the oriental and occidental systems are found included…he has perfected hundreds of exercises of exceptional value.”

Film and Theatre Director Peter Brook
