Dr. Lillian Pearson, certified teacher of the Alexander Technique (AMSAT), will be in residence for two days at the Creative Arts Guild, March 9th and 10th.

The Alexander Technique is an educational method used worldwide for well over 100 years. It has been widely used and studied by musicians, actors, and all kinds of artists, as well as by the general populace. By teaching how to change faulty postural habits, it enables improved mobility, posture, performance and alertness along with relief of chronic stiffness, tension and stress. 

Dr. Pearson will collaborate in an open rehearsal on Friday, March 9th at 7:30pm at the Creative Arts Guild, located at 520 West Waugh Street in Dalton. Admission is $5.00 and is open to the public to observe. Dalton State staff and students are admitted free with a valid i.d. Those “rehearsing” will be together for the first time and will be scheduled in advance. The rehearsal is a peek inside of how the rehearsal process for performances work.

Cost is $10 for one workshop, or $15 for both. Those registering for one workshop may attending the Friday evening event at no cost.
