The body speaks at every moment, though we are rarely conscious of it. Not only is it our primary instrument of communication, but it is the means by which we experience the world. This ground-breaking book treats the body as a positive resource rather than a problem to be managed, and encourages all of us - performer and non-performers alike - to unleash our potential and express ourselves more clearly. Good performers - be they opera singers, Shakespearean actors, Butoh dancers, or move stars - are able to engage with their audience because they have learned to use their bodies effectively. Through a series of practical exercises, Lorna Marshall enables us to recognize and lose unwanted physical habits and discover new possibilities for the body, enriching our experience and letting us communicate more effectively.
