Dear Friend of the Dimon Institute,
There is no single written work that has had greater influence on the subject of kinesthetic education than F.M. Alexander's personal account, “The Evolution of a Technique.” It is a story of incredible persistence and insight, explaining how Alexander arrived at his groundbreaking discovery of a new field of study. Yet his account is a dense, difficult piece of writing that even the most earnest and passionate students of Alexander's work find confusing.
This fall, Ted will discuss the entire story of “The Evolution of a Technique,” outlining the stages of learning Alexander went through before he was able to solve his vocal problem, and identifying the many insights he had along the way. Each lecture will focus on a particular section of the narrative. Topics will include: Alexander’s concept of mind/body unity; his discovery of the “primary control”; the problem of coordination and habitual manner of use; and more.
These talks are open to all, and will take place live online on Zoom, beginning September 8th.
We look forward to seeing you in September.
The Dimon Institute
