Alexander Technique Workshops
Saturday and Sunday, April 13-14th, 2013
AIM - Alexander Technique Informed Movement
with Susan Sinclair and Suzanne Liska
Free Patterns of Tension; Recover Your Efficient Effortless Movement
Two Workshops; Two Days; Two Teachers!
Saturday, April 13, 2013, 2-6pm - AIM and Injury Prevention for the Dancer
Observe, inhibit, and redirect! Learn how these principles of the Alexander Technique can support your dancing to prevent injuries and enhance your overall performance. We will work with directing our attention to allow for more ongoing awareness of ourselves, and beginning to free patterns of tension to access our underlying support. We will use improvised solo structures to witness each other dancing, while applying the Alexander Technique principles. You can also bring in a dance phrase you are working on and apply these principles.
Sunday April 14, 2013, 2-6pm - AIM and Contact Improv
Execute momentum based partnering with greater ease and fluidity. We will alternate between exploring underlying themes from the Alexander Technique and then integrating these directly into Contact Improv dance. Contact Improv exercises will draw on the spontaneous interaction between people interacting with weight, momentum, gravity, and intuition. The Alexander Technique enables whole body integration for movement and stillness by letting go of our habitual reaction, and allow more choice in our dancing.
