The Alexander Technique and the Oscars!

I am sure you all have had some exposure to the beautiful young actress, Lupita Nyong’o who won best supporting actress for the movie,  ’12 Years a Slave’.
Lupita was trained by my dear friend and colleague at the Yale Drama School. The Body Project link below are excerpts from the most informative NYTimes article  (second link below).
 
Lupita shows off her hard work and how she integrates the Alexander Technique principles of poise with inner and outer beauty in her acting, her speaking and presence as an incredible soul. Thank you Lupita, for being an example for us all!
