KAREN ANDERSON

Alexander Technique

Karen Anderson is an accredited Alexander Technique Teacher (graduating from the School for F.M. Alexander Studies in Melbourne) and AUSTAT member.

Born and raised in Ireland, Karen brings years of movement experience in martial arts, yoga, and performance to her work; bringing awareness, respect, wit, and a playful energy to her teaching. Before arriving in Australia, Karen was a professional circus artist and teacher, and is the co-founder & director of the (Dublin based) award-winning aerial performance company - PaperDolls. Outside of Alexander, Karen has trained aerial, acrobatics, clowning, hand-balancing and contortion throughout Europe.

For Karen, the Alexander Technique is a quiet and profound life changer. Practicing it opens students to choice, autonomy and freedom and it provides actors with a practical method for embodiment and presence to deliver captivating performances.
