The Benefits of the Alexander Technique in the Performing Arts
What do Sheila Hancock, Michael Caine, Joanna Lumley, John Cleese, Madonna, Sir Colin Davis, Juliet Stevenson and Paul McCartney have in common? They have all discovered the benefits of the Alexander Technique.
And they are not alone. The Alexander Technique is taught at RADA, the Royal College of Music, and similar institutions worldwide. It has helped performance artists of all disciplines deal with a wide range of problems including:
physical pain including headaches, back pain and repetitive strain injury
injuries
breathing problems
impaired co-ordination and balance
fatigue and poor concentration
lack of confidence, anxiety and stage fright
The technique was developed in the 1890s by Frederick Matthias Alexander, an Australian actor who was looking for a solution to his own problem. He specialised in giving public readings but kept losing his voice when performing. Doctors were unable to find a cause or suggest a cure. Using mirrors, he studied himself closely and noticed there was unbalanced tension throughout his body when he was speaking. He worked out ways of correcting this tension, and his voice returned to normal. What had begun as a self-help project soon attracted wider attention and Alexander’s technique was endorsed by several leading doctors and scientists. He spent the rest of his life teaching it to others.

The National Theatre in Bangkok ? The heart of Thai performing arts
Resting on the Na Phra That Road in Bangkok, adjoining the National Museum as well as the Thammasat University sits the imposing National Theater of Thailand.
Portraying Thai architecture, the theater’s facade is adorned in pastel shades, with its red roof decorated with golden eaves. The edifice is divided into 3 wings, where one wing houses a sizable auditorium and a Sala (open pavilion) where outdoor musical performances are held. Another wing has a small theater hosting small dance performances while the third wing is used for holding workshops for theater technicians.
A variety of shows are hosted in the National Theater, where the spotlight performances go to traditional Thai drama and dances including Khon dance-dramas. The highest out of the 6 forms of traditional Thai dances is the Khon dance form, where performances are mostly based on the Ramekian stories, the Thai edition of the Hindu epic – Ramayana.
The costumes and masks of the dancers are exquisitely and elaborately adorned, and becomes a spectacular sight when they dazzle under the stage lights. The Khon dance-drama incorporates a fine blend of dancing, acting, acrobatics and singing backed by fascinating native folklore music. These performances are entirely in the Thai language and usually take a longer time than other regular performances.
The theater is open to the public throughout the year and it also hosts a wide spectrum of international performances as well. If you wish to watch Thai shows in particular, you need to visit the premises on the last Fridays and Saturdays of any month. You can receive a synopsis of the drama along with the printed program schedule, especially for dramas performed only in Thai language.
