SHE CHANGED MY LIFE!
" I can highly recommend Kate to anyone who has a physical problem caused by bad posture. I still don't understand how she does it but I'm so glad she can. She changed my life."
Marcus Henderson
NOT A MIRACLE CURE!
I started regular Alexander lessons with Kate. Learning the technique has given me more awareness of how I am using my body. It's easy to get so fascinated by your computer that you don't notice how you are sitting or even that you are experiencing discomfort. It isn't a miracle cure, more of a training in how to look after your body."
Claire Martin
Joan Bakewell, writes in the
Guardian 6th February 2007:
"The Alexander Technique
isn't a treatment or a series
of exercises. it's more like
a way of learning how your
body works and educating it
to minimise the tensions that
have built up. Just think how
clumsily we bend from our
waists to pick up weighty items,
putting all sorts of joints at risk.
I went along for a couple of
courses of 40 minute sessions.
I learned about balance, support
and coordination .These were
quiet, almost contemplative times,
when I made minor but significant
adjustments to the way I stood,
sat and moved. I liked it.
KATE SAYS
"There is no right way to do anything
but there are plenty of wrong ways.
Inadvertently these may become
habitual patterns of thought and
movement which interfere with well being.
They can cause or exacerbate shoulder,
neck, joint and back strain and increase
difficulty with stress. Addressing them, during a course
of Alexander lessons,offers the opportunity to improve
voice and breathing and enhance personal presence. "
FM Alexander developed this Technique
to overcome vocal difficulties
while performing on stage.
He then became so well known
in his native Australia that he
traveled to England in 1904
to teach his Technique to people
from all walks of life including
politicians, musicians, writers,
house wives and nobility!
KATE'S LIFE WAS CHANGED FOR THE BETTER
when she had lessons in the Technique.
Kate reports,
"Although I had no obvious health problems
the quality of my life was greatly enhanced.
I trained as a teacher with Walter Carrington
at the Constructive teaching centre ,
Holland park, graduating in 1988.
I am also certificated by the Society of Teachers of the
Alexander Technique (UK). I am a member of ATE
(Alexander teachers education) www.ate.org.au
For 21 years I have assisted in the training
of teachers in: London, Amsterdam, Aalborg
San Francisco, Barcelona (and most recently Munich) and have taught a wonderful variety of people.
In the last 15 years I have combined Theatre skills
and the Alexander Technique to give coaching and presentation training for major organisations including Prudential, PWC, CCEA, PRU Health and Standard Chartered bank. I guest for EDC interplay company
www.edcinterplay.co.uk and am the Alexander teacher at the Italia Conti acting Academy, London." I teach occasionally at the Crescent Arts centre, Belfast.
FINALLY, WHY TITANIA'S HANDBAG?
Well, to swing a bag or walk lightly
with little effort is to connect to that
essential lightness of being
which all of Shakespeare's
fairy world must enjoy.
Although many of us have forgotten how,
it is also our "supreme inheritance"
to move upright with lightness and ease
even in an uncertain world.
