Description

Whether you're new to Suzuki training, or have been working with the rigorous physical training for years, private coaching is a way to bring your work to a whole new level. 

Don't miss this opportunity for you and a guest to experience two hours of private training with acclaimed actress and former member of the Suzuki Company of Toga and current member of SITI Company, Akiko Aizawa

SUZUKI METHOD
Developed by internationally acclaimed director Tadashi Suzuki and the Suzuki Company of Toga, the Suzuki Method’s principal concern is with restoring the wholeness of the human body to the theatrical context and uncovering the actor’s innate expressive abilities. A rigorous physical discipline drawn from such diverse influences as ballet, traditional Japanese and Greek theater, and martial arts, the training seeks to heighten the actor’s emotional and physical power and commitment to each moment on the stage. Attention is on the lower body and a vocabulary of footwork, sharpening the actor’s breath control and concentration.
