Drop in on 5-week introduction to the Alba Method with certified instructor Elizabeth Townsend. This weapon in an actor's arsenal is a acting method developed by neuroscientist Dr. Susana Bloch to induce and manage primary emotions—anger, joy, sadness, fear and tenderness—through specific combinations of breathing, posture, and facial expressions. It allows individuals to trigger genuine emotions physically without relying on memory or emotional imagery. Students will work weekly for 5 weeks on simple acting exercises to unlock more truthful, authentic performances without the risk of emotional damage.
