Feldenkrais and Movement for Performance

Feledenkrais Movement

"Moshe Feldenkrais has studied the body in movement with a precision I have found nowhere else."
Peter Brook (theatre and film director)

1) as a Movement Director whose understanding is simply informed by Feldenkrais.

2) as a Movement or Feldenkrais Teacher in Drama schools or with theatre companies or individuals either as part of a project or for professional development (see below).

Ways of Working with me as a Feldenkrais Teacher

I am really open to any more collaborative or research Ideas. However the basic tools are:

1 hour (or less) lessons for groups (Awareness Through Movement) which can be (for example):

  1. used daily, or weekly or combined and structured into half day/whole day/weekend/week workshops as pure company/personal development time
  2. used daily, weekly or combined and structured into half day/whole day/weekend/week workshops as part of research and development for a project either to address something specific or integrated into the work to inform the whole process
  3. incorporated throughout rehearsals or movement classes to inform the work or to address something specific

1 hour individual sessions (Functional Integration) usually on a low wide table in which the Feldenkrais Practitioner uses gentle touch to guide movements rather than the verbal guidance of Awareness Through Movement lessons. These sessions can be more specifically focussed to an individual performer's interests or needs and address any pain or difficulty as well as improving particular skills.
