This is a complete Basics course consisting of both Basics Level 1 & 2.

Through a rigorous yoga-based warm-up and a thorough exploration of the seven chakra energy centers, this class will offer a new path into discovering the emotional/physical blocks that inhibit a full emotional range of expression. We will work with audible exhale as a means to integrate the sensitivities of the body experience to the outside world. The paradigms of persona, shadow and archetype will be explored in our understanding of the psychophysical complexities of self and character.

Lucid Body Basics will offer you practical tools for auditions, rehearsals, performance, and life.

Objectives:
-Initiate postural re-alignment
-Gain a new practical physical language from which to create the body of the character
-Develop a way of seeing that allows for a deeper understanding of the human being

Level 1 Basics
The first half of Basics focuses on alignment and learning the chakra energy centers as tools to step beyond the comfort zone. Exercises will be focused on transforming the habitual body into new parts of self.

Level 2 Basics
The second half of Basics will work with the larger energies of the archetypes, the active space between two people as an intro to the later scene work, and will end with an exploration of the shadow. This work can be thrilling, though challenging.
