Playing With Heads

Head lead/Body Follow is a mantra we hear all of the time in the Alexander Technique world. In this workshop we will explore this mantra by literally playing with heads. We will hold heads while supine. We will connect heads while crawling. We will make contact with heads while standing. All the while exploring the experience of moving the head and the connection with the body.

Descartes said, “I think therefore I am”…but what about the rest of him? And how does the head/thinking integrate with the whole? Come explore this movement and these questions. *Note – this will be a very active, moving workshop, with some elements of contact improvisation.

This workshop can be adjusted to be “non-contact” if necessary due to COVID-19.
