Emergent Improvisation and the Alexander Technique – for dancers and musicians

Led by Alexander Technique Practitioners, Kai Kleinbard and Cori Olinghouse

The Alexander Technique is an emergent learning process that uses tools of observation and re-patterning to prevent injury, resolve chronic pain, and facilitate an expanded movement potential and freedom.  In these four classes, we will use a variety of methods to explore adaptive, self-organizing ways of learning and connecting.  We will engage in a cyclic process that develops through these five principles:  articulating interests, gathering information, recognizing patterns that emerge, selecting what is useful, and re-assimilating this information back into an emergent whole.

Taught previously at The Yard in Martha’s Vineyard,  Movement Research in Manhattan and Ohio State University, among others.
