AT in the 21C...Can We Make It?
Friday, August 7, 2009 at 9:02PM | Share Article In my next interview I'll be quizzing David Gorman on his thoughts about the immediate future for the Alexander Technique. David is well placed to comment. His thirty years working with performers and developing his own brand of self-enlightenment known as LearningMethods gives him a unique view on "where we are going".
Is the Alexander "Technique" going to survive? 100 years on, does it have the necessary pulling power to compete with hundreds of self-help methods that have sprung up even within the last decade? Sure! It works, it's validated...but does it fit into the pace of modern society? Is it relevant? Can it translate to modern day people and lifestyle?
Well may you cry out, "Of course it does!"
Then where is it in the public perception then?
Does it have the profile of physiotherapy or chiropractic?
Is it as readily recognized as pilates or yoga?
Why have these two examples become modern buzzes? Is Alexander Technique just waiting for a "Tipping Point" to happen?
Hopefully I've set the stage...and hopefully not set the bar too high for David.
Join us in this lively exploration of what awaits Alexander Technique in this century.
