This video briefly discusses the Suzuki acting technique and a few American students’ experiences with it. When I first discovered it, I was drawn by the high level of physicality and the idea that one can control one’s will through disciplining movement. Right now, I’m reading Tadashi Suzuki’s “The Way of Acting,” which doesn’t describe his methods so much as the philosophy behind it. My mind is reeling from all of the useful and insightful information contained within. After I finish that, I’ll be reading “The Art of Stillness” which actually covers the exercises. Hoping to incorporate his ideologies and practices into a theatre dance class.

About me
My name is Erin and I am living in Columbia, MO working full-time at the public library. This blog focuses on two aspects of my life involving dance and history. Of course, other things keep my interest. Those include: my family, friends, anime, singing, body painting (appreciating the arts in general), candles, yoga, make-up, poetry, daydreaming, and of course finding love.
