An introduction to the most basic elements of body language through the Delsarte System of Expression. Developed 150 years ago, Delsarte is a powerful force in our understanding of human movement and expression. This interactive workshop is led by Joe Williams, who is on the movement faculty for the Dalcroze Institute at Juilliard, where students of theater, music and dance from around the world learn his Three Pillars approach to Delsarte.

Joe's classes are always received with excited acclaim by artists, and very often with surprise as artists discover how relevant and powerful Delsarte's work is in today's world.

Who benefits from Delsarte?

All students of Delsarte learn how to better understand the forces of life, their own self-expression and that of those around them.

Dancers receive a powerful tool for understanding choreography and styles and for creating dance.

Actors awaken the unconscious power of the body for expressing creativity and responding to other actors.

Singers empower gesture to reveal depth and subtext.

Yogis learn the tangible side of the normally esoteric "body, mind, spirit" trinity.

Artists find universal tools for recreating emotion and expression in their medium.
