Description

If the last 2 years hasn't made us acutely aware of our lung health, I don't know what will. As actors and singers we are often told to ‘breathe into our diaphragm’ but what does that really mean? For those suffering with 'long covid' a nice deep breath can seem like an insurmountable goal. In this experiential workshop you’ll learn the anatomy of the breathing apparatus as well as being taken through several breathing exercises to help you identify different breathing techniques and methods for increasing breath capacity. We’ll examine how the different ways we breathe can affect our levels of anxiety or performance stress and also how we can get deeper into character work by starting with the body and the breath.
