“I have worked with Penny for years and have found her to be one of the most intuitive, generous, and life changing practitioners in the field. Her experience is enormous and her gifts undeniable. I am thrilled that all at 16th Street Actors Studio will experience the benefits of Penny teaching as much as I have over the past decade and a half.”
– Hugh Jackman

ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE AND THE ACTOR
Actors are storytellers, stepping into the shoes of often dysfunctional characters. Taking an audience on this journey can be unpalatable if you have tension in your work or fall into the trap of presenting characters as victims. To truly honour the writer and tell their story the actor must be present, listening with their whole body, breathing freely, with no unnecessary tension. During these workshops we will look at embodying the character, discovering how to find the rhythm and weight of the character and how their history lives in your body, ensuring the way the character walks and moves comes authentically from you.
