"Alexander Technique and the Voice"
Tuesday, January 13, 7:30 PM
MIT, Room 2-142
(directions below)

Raewyn Haywood, an instructor of Alexander Technique, will be discussing
the principles of the Alexander Technique, what is involved in learning
it, and how the work can be beneficial to those suffering voice
problems.

The Alexander Technique was developed in the late 19th century by
F.Mattias Alexander, an Australian actor who overcame hoarseness and
respiratory problems through his own discoveries about the coordination
of the human body and mind.

He realized that the habitual overuse of tension throughout the body
contributed greatly to the problems with his larynx. He went on to
develop a teachable method of improving muscular coordination which
allows everyday activities such as walking, sitting and speaking to be
carried out with ease and freedom.
