Decolonize Thinking – Anti-Racism and its importance for diversity
How does the long history of colonialism affect our way of thinking, reacting and teaching the Alexander Technique?
Explore why Anti-Racism is important for building a diverse Alexander Technique community.
The first part of this workshop consists of an introduction into the history of colonialism and its context to racism. We learn more about terms like structural racism, othering and cultural approbation and we discuss how they can influence a person’s use of the self.
In a calm and friendly environment, participants are encouraged to take a closer look at perspectives from BIPOC (Black Indigenous People Of Color) and to gain a deeper understanding for the destructive effects of colonialism and racism. In the second part of this workshop, participants will experience this topic within a group activity.
Participants please bring a pen and paper.
