The Practice of Performance
Open to all comers, with or without previous experience in the Alexander Technique.
A 3 hour zoom workshop conducted on-line with a ten minute break halfway on
Saturday 20 June 2020, 2:00pm to 5:00pm UK time.

Performance is like all skills: it improves with practice. To become ever more comfortable with the act of performance, give yourself ever bigger challenges. The only way to do this is to agree to step out of your comfort zone, a little or a lot!

In this workshop we’ll build on the skills we started developing in the “Performance Practice” workshops earlier this year. We’ll try to understand the roots of some of our fears regarding performance. We’ll alternate facing challenges with learning techniques that make it easier to face challenges. We’ll look playfully at mental states and how to tweak them for performance. And we’ll tell jokes and laugh together.

If you haven’t participated in the earlier workshops at HITE, join us anyway. The only requirement is that you be willing to play some seriously silly games.

The workshop will be conducted on the Zoom platform and will comprise the main whole group session and breakout 'zoom rooms' within it. Anyone with no experience of the technology involved will be guided through the startup process by HITE in advance of the session. Pedro has experience of running successful and much appreciated workshops in this way.

It is for everyone: extroverts and introverts, professionals and amateurs, Alexander teachers and students, the curious and the doubtful. It doesn’t require any previous training, and it doesn’t require that you perform formally in front of the group.

Pedro de Alcantara is a musician, writer, and teacher. His books include, among others, Indirect Procedures: A Musician’s Guide to the Alexander Technique; Integrated Practice: Coordination, Rhythm & Sound; and The Integrated String Player, all published by Oxford University Press. www.pedrodealcantara.com

Please book early to avoid disappointment as places will be limited even though it is on zoom.

Please note that no refunds will be possible after 6th June 2020.

All participants will receive an electronic record of attendance after the event.
