WRITING

Alexander | General | Investigations | Admin

Before and after
This was written in response to a fellow teacher who disagreed with my thoughts concerning the timing of inhibition in Alexander work. It includes a description of the dramatic results of my first (and, for the next year, only) lesson.

More than one thing at a time
This formed part of a discussion on inhibition and whether it was realistic to believe we could think of more than one thing at a time.

Concerning my review of MSI
This touches on a number of issues that crop up elsewhere on these pages.

About inhibition
This is a letter I wrote to a colleague.

A Letter to David Gorman concerning a debate on AlexTech about LearningMethods
David Gorman went from being an Alexander teacher of considerable renown to the originator of a new and, I believe, entirely different, approach to human use and functioning. He wrote at length about his work on the AlexTech forum. I joined the forum just before he left it.

Letter to Direction concerning breathing
I wrote this in some exasperation at what I perceived as the general view - within the Alexander profession, as in the outside world - of the Technique concerning itself almost exclusively with people who used their voices, and their breath, 'professionally'.

Outline proposal for evening classes early in my teaching career
This was written a long time ago!

Part of a letter expressing the desire for more precision in explaining Alexander work
A snippet from my past. I can't even remember who I was writing to.

Another letter concerning LearningMethods
This formed part of my correspondance with David Gorman, after he left - under a certain amount of pressure - the AlexTech forum.

A questionnaire I devised
I got very few responses to this!

About verbal ordering
An expression of some of my qualms.

A letter to Wade Alexander concerning spirituality and the Alexander Technique
Self explanatory.
