Constructing the Holistic Actor: Fitzmaurice Voicework. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Oct 2008, Pages: 176
Traditionally, the actor’s voice-training arena in
the United States has been based largely in a
preponderance of European and American theories.
Many of the most prevalent approaches to voice for
the actor have been examined in this western
insularity. But, increasingly, the influences of
other cultural traditions are gaining tenancy in many
western venues, including university dramatic art
departments. These transactions, however, do not
always occur without tensions, as diverse cultural
disciplines seek balance between fluid intercourse
and maintenance of traditional integrity.
This study examines how one relatively undocumented
approach, Fitzmaurice Voicework, addresses the
tension of intercultural dialogue in dramatic art.
The study will observe how Fitzmaurice Voicework
provides theoretical and working interchange between
Reichian therapy and bioenergetics from the West,
along with yoga and shiatsu from the East. The theory
that it purports has global and holistic possibility
for the actor, giving a wide palette for play and
vocal expressiveness.
