Westminster Theatre Professor Earns Fitzmaurice Voicework Certification

Dr. Scott Mackenzie, assistant professor of theatre at Westminster College recently earned certification in Fitzmaurice Voicework, a technique that is used at some of the country's best actor training programs.

 "The last two weeks were the most immediately valuable, because I was able to see so many talented teachers presenting the work," Mackenzie said.  "I am happy that I now have so much more to offer our students.  Beginning this semester, I am restructuring the voice and diction class."

 Fitzmaurice Voicework is a holistic approach to vocal development that combines, mind, body, and spirit.  The major elements of the work are "destructuring" and "restructuring."  Destructuring is the process of breaking down the ineffective breathing patterns that develop as young children, who breathe freely take on the tensions and pressures of society.  Restructuring is retraining the body to use the "structured breath."

 Mackenzie, who has been with Westminster since 2001, earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Texas at Dallas, his master's from Michigan State, and his Ph.D. from Wayne State University.

 For more information, contact Mackensie at (724) 946-6238 or e-mail mackensa@westminster.edu.
