Subject: Free ALBA EMOTING expressive acting training with  
international expert Nancy Loitz at Brock

Hello all,

Beginning July 18th-26th (weekdays 6 hours per day), Nancy Loitz, a  
Theatre Arts Professor from Illinois Wesleyan University, will be  
offering training in Alba Emoting technique at Brock University. Alba  
Emoting uses specific breath and gestural patterns to elicit a variety  
of basic emotions. Actors, psychologists, therapists, and others  
interested in the relationship between body and emotion will find  
these workshops of interest (more information about Alba Emoting below)

Classes will take place 9:30-12:30 and 2-5 weekdays from Monday  
July18th to Tuesday July 26th.

The course is free and limited to 12 participants, although  
participants will be invited to make a small donation ($40 suggested)  
to Nancy to assist with her enjoyment of Niagara. Participants must be  
able to attend all (or at the very least most) classes.

Please contact David Fancy, Chair of the Department of Dramatic Arts  
to register. dfancy at brocku.ca


What is Alba Emoting?

Alba Emoting proposes a systematic method, based on scientific  
findings, which allows to train any person –independent of gender or  
social heritage– to express basic universal emotions clearly, with the  
possibility to summon them and modulate their expressive and  
subjective components at will. It helps to learn to modulate emotional  
states with different degrees of intensity, allowing a prompt precise  
rise and end of an emotion. In short, Alba Emoting is a physical  
method that helps to transmit emotions unequivocally.

Based on the results of many years of scientific research on the  
psychophysiological aspects of human emotions, Prof. Susana Bloch and  
her collaborators developed this method that allows any person to  
express, recognize and perceive creatively the basic emotions of:  
joy-laughter, sadness-crying, fear-anxiety, anger-aggression, erotic  
love and tenderness, and to better understand mixed emotions, such as  
jealousy, pride or ambition.
By learning the precise reproduction of  respiratory-postural-facial  
patterns specifically related to each emotion, an individual is  
enabled to:
- Get in contact with h/his own emotions in a direct and simple way.
- Develop awareness of one's own emotions and those of others.
- Facilitate the communication of emotions.
- Experience a vivid, genuine and organic transmission of an emotional  
state, valid to any observer, independent of h/his talent, gender, or  
cultural background.
- Increase one's capacity to make finer distinctions in the expression  
and recognition of emotions.
- Develop and enhance emotional intelligence.
A special "step-out" technique is taught which allows the person using  
this method to immediately return to a neutral non-emotional state,  
thus safeguarding h/his emotional balance.
The method has proved to be particularly useful for the work of  
performers, for psychotherapeutical purposes, and is now being used in  
different domains of communication, education, health and management.
