A low credit score can keep you from achieving your financial goals and force you to pay high interest on loans. You will learn how to access and understand your credit report in this valuable new conservatory offering and use it to begin to raise your credit score.

You will learn where you can get your credit report free and the many places where you can get your credit score for free. You will also learn the difference between the FICO and Vantage scores and how to correct errors on your credit report. And there will be a discussion of creating a spending plan when you have irregular income.

Participants will walk away with a fuller understanding of credit reports and budgeting, along with free publications and helpful links to vetted websites. Free, confidential advice will be offered, tailored to your credit situation.

Alexander Technique is a psychophysical process of postural and movement re-education that frees your body and voice to work to its best capacity with less habitual tension. It’s taught in all major acting schools and conservatories to promote comfort and ease in performance.

In this introductory class, participants will learn the basic thinking and procedures of the Technique, and take away a small practice they can use at home. All are welcome whether you’ve never tried Alexander Technique or you need to revisit it for a tune-up!

Mary Naden, MFA. Acting and ATI certified, began her teaching career as a Linklater Voice coach.
