Breath & Emotion in Performance is a class created by Catharine that teaches how targeted breathwork can generate a wide variety of emotional states.

 

Once learned, these emotional states can be easily accessed through invoking different breathing rhythms - noting that they are organic to the body.  The end result is that the actor can evoke emotional states at will, purely by regulating their breath.

​

This work is adaptable for use on camera and on stage. 

​

Several ancient Vedic texts have been used to create this method, including the later Vedic text the Nātya śāstra - as the basis for this technique. This work is psycho-physical, engaging the whole body-mind of the actor.
