Acadia School of Music’s Concert & Lecture Series presents Fran Farrell - Festival Theatre
On Thursday, February 26, the Acadia School of Music Concert & Lecture Series presents a talk by Dr. Frances Farrell: “Recalibrating with the Alexander Technique: A Roadmap to Freedom and Ease in the Practice Room.”
In our efforts to “get it right” in the practice room, we can sometimes focus so much on the end result, “the destination”, that we experience undue tension because we have not fully considered the route itself, i.e., the way we are using our whole selves to achieve this outcome. In this session, we will explore the “how” of practicing by inviting our inner GPS and the Alexander Technique as our guides to ensure that we arrive at our destinations with freedom and ease.
Based in Halifax, Dr. Farrell is a music educator and choral conductor as well as a certified Alexander Technique teacher.
This event begins at 1:00pm in FESTIVAL THEATRE.
Concert & Lecture Series events are free and all are welcome to attend – please join us and support our student performers!
