"Dare to let it feel wrong. Take a chance on letting me give you an
experience that you don’t think is right. When you walk out of this room
you can always go back to what feels right. But right now, you’re
allowing both of us the luxury to make a mistake."
Judith Leibowitz
Judith
Leibowitz was one of America’s pioneering teachers of the Alexander
Technique, whose work influenced a generation of Alexander teachers. She
was a founding member of the American Center for the Alexander
Technique (ACAT) in 1964 and taught the Alexander Technique in the Drama
Division of Juilliard School of Music for many years.
With her
famous simplicity and subtlety Leibowitz’s teaching combined the
kinaesthetic experience of her hands with explanations of the basic
concepts of the Technique.
This book brings together 15 documents
of Leibowitz’s teaching based on transcripts taken from a wide range
of situations including teaching a new student, a class of students, and
also experienced teachers. Leibowitz explains the Technique as she
teaches and guides her students through an activity. She covers subjects
such as walking, lying-down work, mirror work, vocalizing, and the use
of hands in teaching, carefully describing her step by step procedure in
each case.
These talks and teaching transcripts capture the
distilled experience of one of America’s foremost teachers of the
Alexander Technique.
