Teaching Artist for emerging adults

Since 2018, Tracy has been Associate Faculty of Alexander Technique and Movement at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC where she’s been responsible for educating hundreds (almost a thousand!) students in the Alexander Technique and Movement for the Actor.

Through trauma-informed and antiracist approach to the Alexander Technique and Movement for the Actor, her classrooms combine community, creativity, and craft. She believes the arts are a unique place for people to discover creative agency in the studio and in their lives.

She has also taught the Alexander Technique for the Completely Ridiculous Conservatory, UMass Dance, Theater, and Music Departments, Smith College MFA Dance program, Fairfield University, and Barnard College at Columbia university.

As a Teaching Artist and pedagogy nerd, I love developing new curriculum on relevant topics. Some classes I would love to develop include:

• Trauma Informed Teaching Artistry (taught a 3hr version of this for the Smith MFA dance students in Spring, 2025)

• Movement Foundations for your Creative Life (Coming, Fall 2026)

• Hypermobile Movement Foundations (developed and taught, Winter 2026)

• Polyvagal Theory for actors: understanding your nervous system for preparation, creation, and then letting go of character.

• Build A Personal Practice: For Artists

• Voice for actors:  Your body is your instrument 

• Developing a Private Practice: Business Basics for Somatic Healers of all Kinds

• Movement for Actors (I taught this at American Academy of Dramatic Arts, NYC, 2018-2021)
