Dayna Anderson, a Âé¶¹APPprofessor of theatre arts, has earned an international certification from Alexander Technique International. She becomes one of six instructors in North Carolina to obtain such certification.
Alexander Technique is a way of thinking about the body, its use, and the rediscovery of freedom/ease and joy of movement. It distinguishes itself by hands-on work in a student-teacher relationship, whether one-on-one or in a group.
Anderson, who began her Alexander training in 1982, completed a four-year training program, an apprenticeship with a sponsor, and qualified for her certification in several "hands-on" sessions. Anderson's competence in this area has enhanced Catawba's training program in theatre arts since the early 1980s, allowing it to remain on the cutting edge in performance education.
