Project your directions!

FM talked a lot about projecting your directions, Marjory Barlow commented it was his favourite phrase. But what did he mean? We will explore this using mirrors (and their modern counterpart of videos!) including a way he might have worked in his early mirror work.

Come prepared for some real and even strange experiences as you step out of over-involvement and into the unknown! This approach takes spatial awareness to a whole new level! I’ll also discuss probable neuroscience models of faulty sensory perception, and its counterpart – stepping out of habitual ways of doing things to allow completely unfamiliar experiences.

We’ll explore how FM’s insistence of the need to separate thinking and action fit with modern ideas of embodiment.

This workshop comes out of my historical research into the roots of how the Alexander technique really evolved.
