Alexander Technique Teacher Refresher/Retreat
Saturday, March 10, 2012, Charlottesville, VA
During this day-long retreat we will explore three combinations of The Five Relations, each of which evokes a particular quality of balance and connection. During this repeating cycle of workshops, we will work with the first set, three of six triads evoking the qualities of Balance, Animation and Span. We will explore these relationships within the AT directions as they inform our teaching both of individuals and of groups. Focus on chair work, walking, floor work (or work on the table), and group introductory activities. Lunch will be served.
Hours: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Cost for the day is $85
