The Alexander Technique
19th Annual Residential Course in Columbus, Ohio

December 27-31, 2007

The Alexander Technique

The Alexander Technique is a simple and practical method for improving ease and freedom of movement, balance, support, flexibility, and coordination. It enhances performance and is therefore a valued tool for actors, dancers, and musicians. Practice of the technique refines and heightens kinesthetic sensitivity, offering the performer a control which is fluid and lively rather than rigid. It provides a means whereby the use of a part (e.g. voice or bow-arm) is improved by improving the use of the whole body.

The Five-Day Workshop

This five day residential course is designed for the layman as well as for students with varying experience in the Alexander Technique. It provides an opportunity to study the Technique with teachers trained in a variety of schools.
