Alexander Technique and Dance Improvisation
This course is aimed at people who enjoy free movement and at the same time want to deepen their body awareness. The Alexander Technique promotes the lightness of "letting things happen" and at the same time a clear presence and direction in the dance.
Through the Alexander Technique we explore the ease of "not doing" and the power of conscious alignment through the body. Researching we approach our anatomy and develop a feel for stability, width and economical movements. The new qualities deepen through touch and inner images and find their expression in space and in interaction with others.
Improvisation arises from the serenity and presence of resting in the body and drawing from the diversity of its possibilities. Sometimes the room fills with fine magic, sometimes with joyful power.
Improvisation is the art of preparing well for the unintentional.

Alexander Technique and dance improvisation
The Alexander Technique opens my body for new movements, makes it soft and lively. The
Focusing on certain anatomical areas allows me to rediscover the variety of my physical possibilities again and again.
You create a harmonious space in which everyone can express themselves in their own movements and possibilities through dance and wonderful encounters become possible.
Through your selection of music and forms of improvisation, you give very sensitive and surprising impulses that bring my dance expression to life wonderfully.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your warm energy, your great creativity and clever course management over all the years that I have been allowed to be in your room.

Taking part in a course again after a long course break is like taking the train back to your home town: you know a lot and yet there are new things to discover - how wonderful: and I now perceive finer and smaller things that I overlooked ("oversensed") before ) had. And I really enjoy the free space I have when improvising.

It's been almost 20 years, in which I've always been able to be there with pleasure and profit, in changing groups, in which there's always such a nice feeling of belonging - despite considerable age differences! There was always a protected space and the freedom to be able to move according to spontaneous impulses in a way that is not possible anywhere else. A very important factor for me: the music you always choose in a clever way, which never bosses you. After each appointment, you start the next week with vigor and in a good mood, actually with a completely different, lasting body awareness (which, as an old skeptic, I had not thought possible before!).
