BioArt training originated in research for developing powerful performance techniques for actors.

The methods developed over two decades by Madeleine Barchevska view the actor’s function from a biological perspective. Many techniques train the body as an instrument. BioArt goes further, beyond muscles and senses to reboot the nervous system and put into correct alignment the way it perceives. Building on the research of her direct mentor, Clyde M. Vinson, Ms. Barchevska’s workshop uses simple exercises that train an actor to touch the “groundwater” of human experience, and perform in a way that connects audiences to that deep wellspring of human archetype.
