Performance & Voice
Performance asks for your whole self: body, breath, voice, emotion, attention, imagination, and expression.
Habits can get in the way. You may tighten, hold your breath, push your voice, lose connection, or become less available to the work.
The Alexander Technique helps you notice these patterns, reconnect with your natural coordination, and develop more freedom and confidence in yourself and your craft.
Working in Performance
Lessons connect movement, breath, voice, and attention directly with the work you're doing: text, character development, auditions, presentations, and the specific challenges of your material.
The work is about reducing interference so that your natural coordination, preparation, and responsiveness remain available to the material, the other person, the space, and the moment.
What Might You Work On?
Freedom and clarity in movement, breath, and voice
Text, speech, singing, and vocal presence
Presence, emotional availability, and connection
Performance anxiety and self-judgement
Auditions, rehearsal, and preparation
Intensity without losing coordination
Connection with scene partners and audiences
Transforming into character while staying connected to yourself
Lessons begin with the work that matters to you.
Enhance Your Training
The Alexander Technique develops foundational skills for noticing habits that may be limiting your work. It helps you reconnect with your natural coordination as you meet the demands of movement, breath, voice, speech, presence, and performance.
This can bring greater clarity and freedom to how you move, breathe, speak, and perform, while helping you access more of your presence, connection, and expressive range.
This work develops a distinct set of embodied skills that you can bring into acting, voice, singing, dance, and other performance training, and into performance itself.
Who Is It For?
Actors are at the centre of this work. Lessons also apply to singers, musicians, speakers, facilitators, and others whose work depends on breath, voice, presence, or communication.
My Approach
I’ve taught the Alexander Technique within university actor training for over a decade.
My teaching brings together traditional Alexander Technique practice, contemporary health and movement science, and experience in acting, voice, and performance education. Lessons connect foundational coordination with the practical demands of movement, breath, voice, text, rehearsal, and performance.
Interested in Lessons?
My private practice is fully booked at present, largely due to my teaching commitments at Capilano University. New students are welcome to join the availability list for when space reopens.
If you're preparing for a specific audition, rehearsal, or project and could use short-term support, returning students are welcome to reach out directly.
