Alexander Technique: Arising from Quiet

While intended primarily for teachers and devoted students of the Alexander Technique, the specific focus on aspects of the performing arts may prove helpful to those in the fields of music, theatre and dance. The Technique is not so much an instructional code but rather a means of accessing the core of any activity and thereby allowing one to realise a fully lived experience. It is a living body of ideas that opens a path to endless discovery and the comforting ease that results from eliminating all excess effort. I suppose the right thing happens at the right time and the course of a life can turn in an instant. At that early meeting with Patrick Macdonald, first generation Alexander teacher, my immediate thought was: "this is what I've been looking for only I didn't know I was looking for it".
