An educational method used to improve performance, the Alexander Technique teaches people to replace unnecessary muscular and mental effort with consciously coordinated responses, maximizing effectiveness while also relieving, if necessary, any chronic stiffness or stress. Integrative Alexander Technique Practice for Performing Artists presents the empirical research of Cathy Madden, a teacher and coach with more than thirty-five years of experience with the technique. She addresses common concerns, such as concentration, relaxation, discipline-specific techniques, warm-ups, performer/audience relationships, stage fright and critical responses, and explores the role of the senses, emotions, learned behaviour, human consciousness studies and neuroscience in the application of the techniques.

Industry Reviews

'What makes this book unique is that it is written in Cathy's own clear, direct and inviting voice. It is not laden with theory, but offers a very practical way for performers to practice.'

-- Judith Shahn, Voice and Speech Trainers Association

'This book is a practical and hands-on work, inviting the reader to enter into an experiment in active practice and exploration rather than passive study [...] Onstage Synergy is a gift from an extraordinary teacher to all of us.'

-- Julie Guichard, Voice and Speech Review
