- Class Description:
- This course introduces students to the Alexander Technique, a method by which we can enhance our freedom of movement in everyday life, from waking in the morning to falling asleep at night. It re-educates our ?use? of ourselves in everything from sitting, walking, reading, using a computer, performing a monologue or a dance phrase or playing the cello. Coursework includes readings, discussions, experiential explorations including movement awareness and games, body mapping, semi-supine practice, and journal reflections and essays relating to the principles and operational ideas of the Alexander Technique. Students will explore the principles of the Technique, observe their habits of use and identify habitual movement patterns, increase their kinesthetic awareness and knowledge of functional anatomy, and enhance their power of conscious choice in their daily life and performance activities.
