The emphasis throughout the course is on learning to explore your own use through games and activities.
The purpose is to develop sensory appreciation through inhibition and direction and to apply this process to hands-on work.
Each day consists of individual work with different teachers, small group work with one teacher, class work using ‘games’ (simple movements guided by a teacher) and a lecture.
The main teachers are Karen Wentworth, assisted by Jean Fischer and Alison Harper. There are other experienced teachers with specialists skills in voice, music, creative movement, acting, swimming, and juggling. You can read about us here.
We aim to provide a supportive environment and to make the process of change enjoyable. Naturally the psycho-physical changes brought about by the Technique will benefit from stability in your own daily life.
We have also found that students who come to the course with the desire and commitment to work on themselves tend to benefit more from their training. It is necessary to learn to look after one’s own use in order to become a teacher.
The best way to find out about us is to visit us. Ideally, you would have had a minimum of thirty individual lessons before applying, and will also have had some lessons with the director, Karen Wentworth.
Incidentally, we recommend that you visit as many training courses as possible before making up your mind where to train. It is important to find a training course in which you feel at ease.
