The Actor's Body

Improve your stage presence and let the camera capture your magnetic performance.
Become an imaginative, fearless, and free actor.
Make your performances magnetic and come alive.
Transform your semi-present actor’s body into a wildly free,
dynamic, and innovative instrument.
Taught by Obi Ndefo
Through a combination of classical
Hatha Yoga, Kundalini inspired breath work, and physical exploration
of the space, actors not only develop deeper pure flexibility, strength,
and personal health, but by plugging the body training into
character work and scene work,
Through a group-oriented process of
1) yoga technique, 2) body conditioning, and 3) creative physicality,
In this 3 hour,12 week class starting Tuesday
We will dive deeply into the mechanics of
the body, the actor’s instrument.
