Beschreibung
This is a compilation of F. M. Alexander’s articles, published letters and lectures on the Alexander Technique. The book consists of six sections:
Early Articles: The origins and development of the F. M. Alexander Technique between 1894 and 1910 can be traced in these early papers.
Published Letters: These letters provide examples of how Alexander addresses typical misunderstandings and misinterpretations of his technique.
Lectures: Three lectures survive of which two are reported almost verbatim. They were given informally and reveal Alexander’s spontaneity when talking about his technique.
Teaching Aphorisms: These aphorisms, taken from Alexander’s lessons, summarize important principles of his teaching and, in a few, concise words, make general observations about use and conscious control.
“Alexander and the Doctors”: Consists of draft material for an unfinished book.
Autobiographical Sketch: Covering Alexander’s life until his departure for London in 1904, this draft is not only a unique history of Alexander’s early life and career, but it is also a fascinating insight into the man behind the Technique. It is a portrait of an unusual and individualistic character.
