Practical ideas and an introduction to the philosophy of being "centered" in life are at the core of this helpful exploration.

Featuring a succinct definition of Center and breathing exercises to help access this unique sense of focus, this tool is a beautifully illustrated and invaluable resource for performers, actors, conductors, and teachers alike.
