Galvanizing Performance ─ The Alexander Technique as a Catalyst for Excellence

This 13-chapter guide explains how to incorporate the Alexander Technique into performing arts training. Through examples of their work, teachers of the technique in the US and Australia describe how it is taught through direct application in instrumental music, singing, acting, dance, in collaboration with other performers and teachers from other disciplines, and to aid in overcoming stage fright.
