About

Carolyn Serota has been teaching the Alexander Technique in the Juilliard Drama Division since 1990. After graduating from Bryn Mawr College, she performed and taught dance before training as an Alexander teacher at ACAT, certifying in 1987. She was a member of the ACAT Teacher Training faculty (1989-92); the Chautauqua Conservatory faculty (1994-95); and the Actors Center (1997-98). Since 1991, in addition to teaching, she has joined with many directors at Juilliard to explore the integration of the Alexander Technique with acting in the rehearsal and performance process. She has an ongoing collaboration in this exploration with her husband, acting teacher and director Richard Feldman; together they have presented various workshops on the integration of acting and the Alexander Technique at Freedom to Act conferences and at the America Society for the Alexander Technique general meeting. During her 30 years at Juilliard, Serota has worked to develop Judith Leibowitz’s energy work into a process for character transformation. She and Kim Jessor co-created the 2020 online event Remembering Judy: A Centennial Celebration of the Life, Work, and Legacy of Judith Leibowitz.
