Moving Meditation: The Alexander Technique for Performing Arts
Students...and the Rest of Us! explores the intersection of
creativity and the mind-body relationship through the Alexander
Technique, an educational method by which individuals can increase
creative thinking, live with greater levels of consciousness, and
decrease physical pain and tension. The book begins with a chapter
about creativity, habitual behavior, and transformation. The
chapters that follow explore the mind-body relationship, introduce
the Alexander Technique and its major principles, and provide
strategies for embodying and practicing the work. Readers are
challenged to explore basic procedures, including Body Mapping and
breath work, in order to heighten awareness and increase safety and
efficiency. In later chapters, actors, musicians, and dancers learn
how they can benefit from the Alexander Technique. The closing
chapter describes how readers can continue to develop their skills
as they apply the Alexander Technique in their daily life. Moving
Meditation is a critical resource that teaches performing arts
students how to deepen their creativity, care for themselves, and
practice daily intentionality. It is suitable for courses and
programs spanning all areas of the performing and creative arts, as
well as courses in communication and healthcare.
