Movement - Yoga

Course open to BFA1 Acting Program students only.
The primary goal is to cultivate awareness of
musculo-skeletal body, and explore working with
greater ease and freedom in movement. Focus is on
connection to breath. Students will be taught
basic yoga postures to create strength, stamina,
flexibility and balance. Other movement forms
will be drawn upon as well to increase the
students' range and vocabulary, and begin to
connect their physical work to their acting.
In semester 2 there is a continuation and
deepening of work in first semester. More focus
on core stabilization. Variations on yoga asanas
and more challenging poses introduced. Various
types of yoga are examined.
