Recenzii

Galvanizing Performance has something for everyone from the novice AT student to the experienced teacher. With an all-star line-up of AT teachers contributing, the essays cover all performing arts disciplines and every teaching situation one can imagine.
The editors have gathered a rich buffet of masterful Alexander Technique teachers who bravely pull back the curtain on their work with rare vulnerability, honesty, and perception. A 'must have' book for any teacher or artist wanting to infuse their work with AT, or needing fresh ideas for more effectively using it in their work and lives.
Galvanizing Performance offers singers, voice teachers, and performers a wonderful blend of insightful reflections and practical details from current expert Alexander Technique instructors.

Whether or not we are familiar with AT, the introductions to each chapter expertly orient readers and ready us to dive into each author's thoughts with a clear understanding of their experience, perspective, and priorities.

The Alexander Technique is a specific form of mind/body practice that focuses on improving efficiency through learning and understanding movement and behaviour. Galvanizing Performance applies the teachings of this practice to the performing arts.
