Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais describes his method in the following quote from the article, Movement and the Mind, with Will Schutz, Ph.D.
“My way of learning, my way of dealing with people, is to find out, for that person who wants it, what sort of accomplishment is possible for that person. People can learn to move and walk and
stand differently, but they have given up because they think it’s too late now, that the growth process has been completed, that they can’t learn something new, that they don’t have the time or the ability. You don’t have to go back to being a baby in order to function properly. You can, at any time of your life, rewire yourself, provided I can convince you that there is nothing permanent or compulsive in your system, except what you believe to be so.”
I feel that this description is an appropriate way to introduce my next workshop entitled, Developmental Movement Education which will take place on Sunday, August 28 from 12:00 noon – 3:30 p.m. If you want to learn to move like a baby or learn how to learn all over again then this workshop is for you!
The workshop will take place at the Alonzo King LINES Dance Center at 26 Seventh St. in San Francisco, CA. To sign up call the dance center at 415.863.3040×221 or visit: http://linesballet.org/sfdc/news/workshops.htm#donna.
Save the date and I hope to see you there!
