INTEGRATED PERFORMANCE TRAINING FOR VOICE, BODY & MOVEMENT
Saturday Aug 12, 2012 – Professional Fitness Institute 12-4pm
A UNIFIED APPROACH
Michael Lugering’s The Expressive Actor method is an innovative and practical approach to training the “total actor,” where the disciplines of acting, movement and voice are synthesized in a unified method of training. The method is designed to cultivate an awareness of the pre-conscious, physical and sensorial foundations of human communication – the very basis of expression.
THE ART OF EXPRESSION
The method is concerned not so much with “why” we express our thoughts and feelings but “how.” Here, expression is viewed as a highly specialized type of physical action in which key elements such as energy, weight, control and focus are structured and shaped to reveal the content of our thoughts and feelings. In this intensely physical exploration, the voice and body are not viewed simply as a vessel for emotional content, but as equal partner in the process of creating meaning and understanding.

IMPROV THAT LEADS TO CHARACTER
Improvisational studies layering breath, sound and voice with movement are used to foster an intuitive and non-intellectual approach to acting skill and character building.
The goal is an expressive actor capable of vivid, powerful and artful expressions of thought and feeling that are spectacularly human and adaptable in the context of live performance.
“The well coordinated body and the well coordinated mind go hand in hand. Physical flexibility and dexterity are linked directly to mental and emotional flexibility and dexterity. When the body learns new ways of moving and sounding, it also learns new ways of thinking and feeling“. –Michael Lugering, THE EXPRESSIVE ACTOR
