Whether dancing, delivering a monologue, singing an aria, or playing an instrument, both habit and tension are the enemies of compelling and dynamic performance.  Tension robs the performer of grace and presence, leading to second-guessing choices that need to be made with confidence and commitment.  Habits rob performers of spontaneity and variety of expression.
  The Alexander Technique opens a world of control and ease to performers.  It brings out breath control, poise and presence, expression free of reliance on habits, all the aspects of performance that make it magnetic and captivating.
