Back to Basics – Classical Carrington Procedures
The training course comes to Congress!
Our workshops offer the chance to experience or revisit the tried and tested classical hands-on skills and procedures that Walter Carrington developed from his close association with FM Alexander and are taught at the Constructive Teaching Centre. The teaching team will be led by CTC’s Director of Training, Alan Philps, who qualified with Walter and Dilys Carrington in 1985, and has taught on the training course ever since. During each workshop, Alan will demonstrate a sequence of procedures/games including use of the eyes, arms and legs, ‘hands on the back of the chair’ and ‘whispered ah’. After which, all participants will have the opportunity to go through the procedures individually, with hands-on guidance from a member of our experienced teaching team. This is an entirely hands-on workshop so numbers will be limited. The teacher-to-participant ratio will be high, as is our tradition at CTC.
