"A very valuable teaching tool for professors of acting,
theater, singing voice, movement for actors, conducting, and dance
kinesiology. Accessible and fresh, there is no other movement-based
book for performers that looks so carefully at balance and
body-mapping."
--Sarah Barker, University of South Carolina
"Jerry Schwiebert's approach has revolutionized my conducting
technique, and I've seen his methods greatly benefit
instrumentalists and singers as well."
--Douglas Kinney Frost, Syracuse Opera
Performers of all kinds know that "tuning up the body" is
required to maximize performance. Physical habits, mannerisms, and
posture can block the capacity for expression, often without the
performer even noticing. Because of this, movement education--long
standard in theater curriculum--is increasingly being adopted in
other fields, particularly music education.
"Physical Expression and the Performing Artist" is an organized
approach to movement for all performing artists, based on the
teaching of Jerald Schwiebert, master movement teacher and creator
of popular workshops for actors, dancers, and musicians. Capturing
the energy of Schwiebert's workshops, the book draws from the
wisdom of traditions such as Hatha yoga, Tai Chi, and Pilates, as
well as from Stanislavski, Alexander, Feldenkrais, and Laban, to
provide a fresh and accessible approach to movement. The book's
nearly 300 illustrations highlight anatomical features and help
readers pinpoint specific muscles, joints, and actions. The book
will prove indispensable in movement courses and as a resource
guide for professionals seeking to take their performances to the
next level.
