Alexander Principles into Dancing
clarity and subtlety

The ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE is a means of identifying mental and physical habits that interfere with one's ability to attend to the moment and make choices. Through observation, dialogue and hands-on work, this workshop aims to introduce principles of the Technique and examine common assumptions and their accompanying sensations of such dancerly concerns as strength, support, stability and power. The aim is to open the body and brain to new information and refining the organisation of the performing body and mind.
