Two Films About Walter Carrington
- 10 min from “Springtime 2003, Walter Carrington at Work at the Constructive Teaching Centre, London” (complete dvd 2 hours in English). In this excerpt Walter shows “why we pull down”. It was filmed during my post graduate term at the Constructive Teaching Centre, 2 years before Walter passed away. The film shows Walter’s daily teaching routine aged 88, reading from and commenting on Alexander’s “Conscious Constructive Control”. You see Walter taking students through a number of games, assisted by the lovely Ruth Murray and Alan Philps. If one has not met Walter personally, this is a wonderful opportunity to do so.
- “Interview with Walter Carrington in 2004: On the Future of the Technique” (DVD 30 minutes long, in English). This interview was filmed after the Oxford Conference in the Constructive Teaching Centre in London, two years before Walter passed away. After a lifetime of working with the Technique, Walter speaks about why it is important to work on one on one and on “doing less”
