Greetings from Shelter Island, NY

I hope this finds you very well and enjoying the last weeks of glorious summertime. 

I've had a lovely, full summer. After finishing up the school year teaching at the William Esper Acting Studio, in mid-June I taught a workshop on the Greek island of Folegandros. Inspiration in the Aegean integrated elements from Alexander Technique, movement improvisation, and ancient Greek art and mythology – and it was a blast!  It was a beautiful group of students from three continents, and spanning six decades – and we had an absolutely ecstatic time. Thus, I'm considering repeating this workshop in June of 2018. Updates on this soon.

Back in NYC in late June and July, I enjoyed working with students from around the world in the Summer Intensive Program at the Esper Studio and with private students in town.

Now, I’m loving having some relaxing, rejuvenating open days out on beautiful Shelter Island… and… HERE COMES THE FALL SEASON!

PRIVATE ALEXANDER LESSONS IN NYC THIS FALL:   

  • My private lessons season begins the week of Sept 11th. That week, I'll be teaching on Sept 12th, 13th, and 14th (Tuesday-Thursday). 

  • Following that week, my private teaching days will be Mondays, Tuesdays, and some Fridays.  

  • If you wish to begin or resume lessons, please be in touch soon.

  • I offer discounted rates for a prepaid series of lessons. I also offer a limited number of artist discounts each week. Please contact me directly for more information. 

The ability to be very alert and also calm and present at the same time is a vital ingredient in a creative, responsive life. The Alexander work continues to inspire me as a means towards this state of being and readiness. 

If you have been considering taking lessons, or have friends that have been curious about studying Alexander – this is a good time to get started or to refer them! I look forward to meeting new students in the fall as well as welcoming back ongoing or former students.  

all my best and hope to see you this season in NYC,

Judith
