About Feldenkrais:
Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement is verbally guided movement lessons that will bring you the kind of intimate connection to yourself that all artists are looking for. It will bring you a self-awareness practice that will transform the way you think about warming up and preparing for performance. It will bring you more comfort, ease, and mastery in both your daily and artistic life.
About Deborah:
Deborah is a 27-year veteran of theater on and off Broadway, a Licensed Feldenkrais Practitioner, and a Certified NIA Dance Instructor. She discovered Feldy and NIA out of her own need to heal from a car accident that dramatically curtailed her performing career. She went on to use these techniques to bolster and sustain her life as a performer, teacher, and Physical Therapist. Both techniques are essential to help ground, re-calibrate, and energize not just the body, but also access to opening your breath and emotions. Deborah has developed a deep love for these techniques for herself, but also as she has witnessed many of her students discover the power of their authentic energy.
