All the year round, the CFTA organises training programmes personally tailored to suit your needs

These training programmes are open to anybody who is interested in optimum personal and professional blossoming, whether in performance or public speaking.

These summer schools are organised around the key subjects:

Morning: work on the body and an Alexander Technique workshop, application of this to everyday movements

Afternoon: applying this onstage and with our instrument; the singers work with a piano accompanist, the actors work on pauses in the text; we look at the spoken and singing voice, at vowels and the breath

Applying the principles of Alexander Technique to instrumental practice.

Do not hesitate to contact us in order to find out more about our upcoming summer schools, what they cost and what they offer.
