This ten day Project offers dedicated group work for Beginners and for Intermediate levels, Personal Meetings, Alexander Technique (groups and individual).
George informs about OBF:
‘Orchestral Body Flow’ draws on principles from Guitar Craft, the Alexander Technique and Tai Chi Chuan to explore how an orchestral body of people organises itself from moment to moment as music arises. This requires engaging connections: to ourselves and our instrument, to other players, to the orchestral space and to our audience. On this Course, we will practice building these connections and watch what unfolds during rehearsal and performance.’
Woltersdorf is a small village ca 30 km from Berlin and its airports. Space at the EC Freizeithaus is limited, if you wish to attend please apply asap in order to reserve your place.
Work in the House and the Kitchen will be an integral part of the course for all participants.
