May the Force Go Through You

May the Force Go Through You

$60.00

by Alan Questel

Making our lives easier, more efficient and more comfortable can emerge from a more efficient use of our skeleton, yet it is a hidden and relatively unperceived aspect of who we are. The function of our skeleton is to bear weight and transmit force, however it is underutilized in our everyday life. Becoming clearer about our skeleton and how it functions can open up new ways for us to interact with our environment. Through Awareness Through Movement you will discover how you can become more “skeletal“, resulting in a new and more vital sense of yourself in a truly foundational way.

Alan S. Questel trained directly with Dr. Feldenkrais in Amherst, Massachusettes. Since that time, he has lectured and taught at hospitals, colleges and Feldenkrais Professional Training Programs throughout the world. He is known for his clarity, creativity and down-to-earth style of teaching. He brings a depth of understanding, humor and a gentle human perspective to the learning of the Method and creates lively conditions for learning.

An actor before becoming interested in the Feldenkrais Method, Alan worked and toured with Jerzy Grotowski (My Dinner With Andre) and Paul Sills (Second City, Chicago and Story Theatre). Even today, one of his great interests is the embodiment of creativity, and he has developed a body of work for performers utilizing the Feldenkrais Method. Alan sees the Method as a means for individual maturation, and aspires towards making this appreciable and concrete for his students both in training programs and in his practice.
