F.M. Alexander technique as a response to these cultural shifts. (Title to be Updated)

LIMITED

Limited Capacity seats available

In an ever changing world, Alexander Technique is vital to the performance of everyday life. During this combo lecture/experiential workshop, panelists take the audience back to where it all began. Using Alexander's life and the second half of the Industrial Revolution as reference points, this workshop explores the paralleling technological, social, and political realities of his time to the present and how F.M. Alexander molded his technique as a response to these cultural shifts.

Additionally, recognizing these similarities, attendees will investigate their own use with fashion and technological objects from Alexander’s time and present day technology, identify what principles apply to the present and the past, and reflect on how this information can influence their future practice.

If what F.M. understood was helpful for people in the 1900s and is still useful for us now, then the timelessness of his work goes beyond any condition/culture and humans have the “freedom to change.”
