Use, Thinking and Functioning

Saturday September 11th-18th with Anne Battye:

---

This course is intended for teachers of the Alexander
Technique.

This course offers plenty of opportunity to practise "hands-on" work regarding Use, Thinking and Functioning. Most mornings and evenings will be spent practising some of F.M. Alexander's basic activities.
Anne will guide the sessions, exploring the relationship between the "procedures" and our everyday life, observing how use affects our functioning - and how thinking affects our use.

Anne Battye trained as an Alexander Teacher with Marjory and Wilfred Barlow in the early sixties, both of whom trained with F M Alexander. She has been teaching the Technique for forty years; at the Alexander Institute run by the Barlows, at RADA, at Middlesex Polytechnic and privately.
She has worked as a guest teacher on many of the training schools and has been an active member on the STAT Council and Training Course Committee. Anne is regularly invited to present workshops at the Alexander Technique conferences. She enjoys working with musicians, singers and actors and is herself an amateur viola player.

Dr Wilfred Barlow was the first medical doctor to train as a teacher of the Alexander Technique, and in 1940 he married Marjory, Alexander’s niece. He wrote ‘the Alexander Principle’, a well-illustrated description of Alexander Technique.
