Who is running the workshop?

Lyra Butler-Denman in her own words:
"I am a certified Alexander Technique Teacher and a faculty member at The Contemporary Alexander School and The Alexander Alliance International. I’ve been studying Alexander Work for over two decades, first as a young dancer finding efficiency, strength, and presence, and later after a spine injury that left me severely incapacitated. Contemporary Alexander Technique not only restored my health, function, and dance career after the injury, but also allowed me to awaken to a stronger, smarter body and a deeper understanding of myself."www.alexandertechniqueportland.com/

James Peck in his own words:
"...has been teaching theater practices and movement for thirty years. He teaches mask and mime movement for stage as well as a rehearsal for life. This workshop follows on from the research and connection between the different arts and the Alexander Technique.For more information on who James Peck is you can have a look around this website..."

What is The Mask Of Movement?

Mask play provides a platform for exploring certain movement fundamentals and the essentials for depicting the imaginative world of the stage. However, this play we have found also helps in daily living. In this workshop we use these movements combined with the Alexander Technique to really “come to grips” with the way that habits interfere with movement and expression. 
 
Alexander Technique is fundamentally the study of habit, choice, and change. As the work on the neutral mask helps us begin to identify habits and patterns, it allows us to create alternatives in our bodies and minds, helping us rediscover ease, capacity, and versatility. By creating more choice and capacity, the Alexander work supports our range, skill, and artistry as performers. 
 
Combining the two practices empowers the actor to:
- Recognize physical imbalance and interference patterns
- Access new choices that support their body and their craft
- Discover ease, versatility, and capacity
 
When paired with the Alexander Technique, this investigation into mask work becomes a somatic practice that is healthful and beneficial whether you are a performer or someone who just wants to do washing up without discomfort.
