Alexander Technique for Actors and Performers
Whether you’re stepping into a role, onto a stage, or in front of a camera, the Alexander Technique helps you move, breathe, and speak with less strain and more presence, confidence, and poise.
At its core, it’s a practice of recognizing and releasing patterns of tension that interfere with how you perform and how you feel. With time, you develop tools that support your coordination, breath, and ability to stay present under pressure.
Mark teaches actors of all levels in private lessons and as a faculty member in the Capilano University Theatre Department. Lessons begin by building fundamental skills in posture, movement, breath, and voice—helping you become grounded and open, manage performance anxiety, and meet each moment with greater ease and authenticity.
The Technique is a core part of actor training at leading drama schools worldwide, including Juilliard and Yale, and has supported the work of performers such as Judi Dench, Benedict Cumberbatch, Margot Robbie, and many others.
As the work deepens, it becomes part of how you warm up, rehearse, perform, and connect. Many actors describe it as a return to something essential—greater freedom of expression, fuller access to their talent, and a deeper connection to their craft and to themselves, on and off stage.
