‘Fitzmaurice Voicework® was developed by Catherine Fitzmaurice to enable actors to be more playful and present; allowing the voice to be reactive to the needs of the body, the breath and the thought in the present moment; creating more options within performance, freer creativity, and a deeper sense of the body’s ability to express with reactive freedom and energy in the breath, releasing psycho-physiological holding patterns and connected breathing constraints.
It is taught in the MFA Acting programs at Yale and Brown, as well as NYU undergraduate studios, the University of California – Irvine, Moscow Art Theatre School, Shanghai Theatre Academy, and many other theatrical institutions across the world.
It integrates well with other modalities of voicework, actor training, and is also used in corporate coaching and teacher training.’ Jedd Owen-Ellis Clark.
