Summer Performing Arts Youth Program
Through the Alexander Technique Lens
July 21st-25th 2025
Create presence in your performance!
Join us for a summer program focusing on performing arts through an Alexander Technique lens. Many top performing arts colleges and training programs use The Alexander Technique as the foundation of their body awareness classes. In this intensive, you’ll be working with certified Alexander Technique faculty on applying the technique to build presence & awareness, address performance anxiety, learn injury prevention tools, develop self-agency and more.
This program is for incoming high school freshmen through seniors and will involve one on one and group sessions with individual attention on you and your performing arts disciplines.
A showcase will be developed by the performers and teachers throughout the week for a presentation on Friday. Family and friends are invited to attend.

Hands On Work
AT Work often has hands-on guidance. We will get consent from the adult and child about their comfort level. This decision is flexible at any time in the workshop, and touch is not the only way to learn! Training also includes verbal direction, discussion, videos, observation and more.
