BASIC PRINCIPLES OF PERFORMING POWER

presented by Ben Krywosz of Nautilus Music-Theater

Basic Principles of Performing Power offers a glimpse into
the integrated performance approach developed by Nautilus,
based on the radiant performing technique of master teacher
Wesley Balk.

Participants will learn about an integrated approach to
singing acting, which focuses on the whole person. Attention
is given to the basic tools of voice, face, and body, then
expanded to include the performer’s relationship to their
material, the artform, their colleagues, and their community.
For over thirty years, this approach has had a profound
impact upon hundreds of participants who have found its
concepts applicable to all styles of performance, ranging
from traditional opera to Broadway musicals to new and
experimental music-theater. It is the cornerstone training
of many of the performers who work regularly with Nautilus.

Open to anyone interested in integrated performance,
especially intermediate and experienced singer-actors.
