What's the secret of giving electrifying performances and auditions? Hint: it's not how hard you try or even how well-prepared you are (although both are important). It's your *Soulforce*. Here's a scenario:

You’re up on stage. You’re giving it your best. You did all the right techniques… but something’s off. Why isn’t it connecting? Where’s the flow, the thrill, the electrifying energy that could have your audiences on the edge of their seats? What’s the missing piece?

It’s "Soulforce", the X factor, the indefinable aura of authenticity, aliveness, and connection that every actor longs to express, and that every audience wants to experience. But can Soulforce be learned, or is it just a matter of luck?

Yes! The channeling your Soulforce be learned. And here’s the secret: your Soulforce already lies in wait within you, ready to burst forth – if you simply learn how to get out of the way of it.

In this fun and engaging masterclass, you will learn how to discover your Soulforce and to channel it, even in the most challenging circumstances, such as performances and auditions.

Using methods based on the Alexander Technique, you will learn to let go of unnecessary tension so you can improve your stage presence and access a fuller, more dynamic expressive range. This special ability will make your performances shine, both on stage and in auditions!

Music for meditation and yoga featuring violin, guitar, tabla, and crystal singing bowls. Listen to the healing sounds of "Balancey" by the meditative music ensemble Ananda.

The members of Ananda:
Raji Malik, guitar
Joseph Arnold, violin
Radha Gopinath das Marinelli, tabla
Zoana Gepner-Muller, crystal singing bowls, percussion, vocals

About Ananda:
Styled on the Indian Classical music tradition, we use the violin, guitar, tabla, and crystal bowls to create meditative soundscapes that will soothe and inspire you. We've called our debut album "Listening" to highlight the sense of deep listening out of which our improvisations emerge.

Raji Malik has been playing guitar for over 30 years and has come to the realization that music has infinite possibility so he can never be anything but a beginner. Raji blends percussive fingerstyle techniques and Indian sitar sensibilities to create a style that is unique and hypnotic.

Joseph Arnold is a violinist and Alexander Technique teacher. In addition to Ananda, Joseph plays with Irish rock band The Birmingham Six, and gypsy jazz band The Hot Club of Philadelphia. wwwJosephArnold.com

Radha Gopinath das Marinelli began playing drums spontaneously at the age of 3. Since then he has pursued his love of music and percussion with various groups in the Philadelphia area, including Spoken Hand, One, and Ananda.

Zoana Gepner-Muller uses her crystal singing bowls to share love and joy and to elicit a kind of listening that opens to expansion, harmony, and well-being. www.Zoanas-Place.com
