Alexander Technique: First Lesson

By changing your posture you
can look, move, and even breathe better, according to proponents
of this century-old technique popular with entertainers. Developed
by an actor who lost his voice due to improper posture, the
Alexander Technique involves a series of subtle changes in stance
and movement that, once learned, are to be incorporated into
everyday life. Actor William Hurt introduces viewers to the video
and demonstrates the positions and movements. Hurt must truly
believe in this method because not only does he allow himself to
be an on-screen guinea pig for 74 minutes, but the reclusive actor
has also made rare television appearances promoting the video.
However much he appears to believe in the technique, though, the
Oscar winner displays uncharacteristic awkwardness in introducing
and quizzing his teacher, Jane Kosminsky. A former dancer,
Kosminsky is well versed in the history and method of the
technique as she moves Hurt through head placement, chair work,
"the Monkey" (a lifting position), walking, and finally
a 22-minute self lesson. At the tape's end Kosminsky warns that a
personal teacher may be needed to truly learn the technique, and
offers a contact number and Web site information. --Kimberly
