The principles of the Alexander Technique and Trisha Brown's choreography both highlight perception, subtlety, subjectivity, inner space in relation to outer space, self in relation to others. Experimental in nature, both are critical practices that cultivate self-reflection, curiosity, specificity, and deep self-knowledge that allows, to quote Trisha, "all of the person's person to arrive at the same moment.”
In this series of classes/labs, Shelley Senter shares her personal practice and experience of applying the principles of the Alexander Technique to Brown's work through repertory excerpts, hands-on work, observation, and dialogue.
"I think we need a variety of skills. The Alexander Technique helps to integrate the individual dancer plus all the systems that he or she has been exposed to. It is important to tell a student that there is a different way of moving free of grit force, interruptions, habitual patterns, of tension. They need to learn to stop that." -Trisha Brown
