TORONTO, ON — February 5-7    (a 2½ day weekend workshop) Liberating Performers     A series on eliminating major performance problems Part 2. Performance without Tension, Effort, Difficulty and Injury

 
WHO IS IT FOR?...

Open to everyone — but especially for singers, musicians, actors, dancers, public speakers, and other performers, as well as teachers of all types of performance who want to learn ways to help their students.

You do not need to have attended any previous workshops, though the series collectively covers the majors issues faced by performers. Attending all parts of the series will be especially valuable for teachers to learn the whole range of ways to help your students.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT?  WHAT WILL IT COVER?...

This is the second of the "Liberating Performers" series of workshop using the powerful LearningMethods approach which has helped hundreds of performers and revolutionized the pedagogy of teachers all around the world. It is now a regular part of the teaching curriculum in numerous colleges and conservatories in Europe and North America.

As a performer you have probably had some of those moments of effortless freedom, when you are totally immersed in the flow, where everything is easy, and your performance does itself with a quality and skill that is near your best.

"I am truly blessed to have met you and all the help I´ve already
have gotten from you and your discoveries"
                                   Professional Musician

This workshop will help you:

— understand why performers experience this lovely state so rarely and instead are often plagued by tension, effort and injury that threatens their career,

— learn what allows those lovely moments and how easy it is to make them your normal way of practicing and performing,

— learn how trying to focus on, and control, the coordinations of your parts leads to tension and effort, and in fact, why it virtually ensures you will not be able to trust your skill,

— learn how to let your amazing inbuilt coordinating system take care of the details so that you are free to focus on what you want,

— see mistakes not as problems to react to but as important parts of your learning process which, used well, will help you learn faster, easier and better,

"With this freedom now, I am a better artist.
My level is higher without having worked.
In the space of a week, it is incredible!"
                                                         Dancer, after recent Liberating Performers workshop

— experience how effort and strain are not the measure of how difficult something is, but of how much you are working against yourself,

— discover how fast, easy and fun learning new pieces and new skills can be once you know how to get your learning system working for you rather than interfering with it,

— understand why repetitive strain injuries can happen no matter how careful you are, but also how unnecessary they are,

— appreciate the significance of what the latest neuroscience shows about why most peoples' way of learning and practicing is bound to cause problems,

— and much, much more...

It is not uncommon for these sort of problems to be solved and for you to gain new skills after one workshop. Almost certainly you will take away such a different way of seeing things that you will be permanently changed, not just in performance but wherever else in your life these habits operate.

Come along and see for yourself — all you have to lose is your problems !

WHAT TO BRING?...

Yourself, your passion for performing, a willingness to explore and experiment, and a desire to be liberated from nervousness, fear and undermining judgment…

You may want to bring a clipboard, paper and coloured pens for notes. Recording is not permitted by participants, but an audio recording of the workshop may be available for purchase by participants.

THE WORKSHOPS IN THIS LIBERATING PERFORMERS SERIES...

We are bringing the whole series of these workshops to both Montreal and Toronto. The first one, Freedom from Nervousness and Judgment, is scheduled in Toronto on September 25-27 and in Montréal October 2-4. This is followed by the second workshop, Freedom from Tension, Effort and Injury, scheduled in Toronto on November 27-29 and in Montreal early in 2010, then the third one, Making Learning Fun, Fast and Effective (not yet scheduled), will be on taking advantage of your amazing learning system to gain new skills and coordinations with a speed and ease that will astound you.

If you cannot attend the Toronto workshops, these are also taking place in Montreal.

WHO IS THE TEACHER?...

David Gorman has been working with performers (singers, musicians, actors, dancers and circus artists) for almost thirty years. Originally trained as a teacher of the Alexander Technique, David has taught all over the world in universities, conservatories, performance companies, and orchestras; for doctors in hospitals and rehabilitation clinics; and in training courses for Feldenkrais, Alexander, physiotherapy, osteopathy, massage, etc.

He is the author and illustrator of The Body Moveable, a 600-page text on our marvellous human structure and design, and Looking at Ourselves, a collection of  essays on learning and change. He was also director of a Training Program to train teachers of the Alexander Technique in London, England between 1988 and 1997.

Over the years, his changing understanding about the root causes of people's problems led him to gradually evolve his Alexander Technique teaching and develop a new work, LearningMethods (and an offshoot, Anatomy of Wholeness about our human design), which is now being integrated into the curricula of performance schools in Europe, Canada and the United States by a growing number of LearningMethods Teachers.

David is writing a new book, parts of which will soon be available in e-book and/or print format, and he is about to start a new modular training in LearningMethods, the Alexander Technique, and Anatomy of Wholeness.

TORONTO, ON — Dates coming soon    (a 2½ day weekend workshop) Liberating Performers     A series on eliminating major performance problems Part 1. Escaping the Trap of Nervousness, Self-judgment & Fear

   

Open to everyone...
but especially for singers, musicians, actors, dancers, public speakers, and other performers, as well as teachers of all types of performance who want to learn ways to help their students.

You do not need to have attended any previous workshops, though the series collectively covers the majors issues faced by performers. Attending all parts of the series will be especially valuable for teachers to learn the whole range of ways to help your students.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT? WHAT WILL IT COVER?...

As a performer do you suffer from stage fright and nervousness?

Do you find yourself fearing the harsh judgment of others or do you beat yourself up with negative criticism?

If you do, you know it sure isn't any fun to go through.

You also know it brings down your performance. It seems to make all your skill and practice fly out the window. It sabotages your auditions, and it becomes more and more of a vicious circle until you start to be afraid of it happening before it has even happened.

Like most people you've probably tried to get rid of it with lots of techniques and tricks which hopefully do help in the moment... But have you really solved it or does it just come right back again next time?

Have you almost despaired of ever really being free from it and are now happy to just have a way to cope each time?

Imagine performing with confidence — just being who you are !
Imagine being truly liberated from nervousness and judgment !
YOU CAN BE... and it doesn't even take that long !!

This workshop will show you, in a very practical and experiential way with lots of opportunities to try things out:

— why you get hit with stage fright and judgment at some times but not at others,

— and why some people have it almost all the time and others never, or hardly at all,

— what it is that hooks you into the situation in a way that forces you to react with fear and doubt,

— how the whole habit is not because of something wrong with you or something lacking in your ability, but because of a crucial misunderstanding of how our human "valuing system" really works,

— and best of all, how easy it is, once you see through these misconceptions, to no longer be caught up in them,

— and to be able to meet any performance situation – no matter how big or important – free of fear and nagging doubt, with all your skills intact, and with a presence of mind that will allow you to not only meet any situation with confidence, but also leave you free to play with your expression and creativity...

"The competition went incredibly well. I was NOT NERVOUS AT ALL !"
                                   Dancer, after recent Liberating Performers workshop

"You can’t believe what a relief it is to perform without the fear and all that busyness
of trying to cope.  Now I’m just clear about the music and what I want and
I'm not imagining others. What a joy, and after only one session !  Thank you !!"
                                                                              Professional musician

It is not uncommon for these sort of problems to be solved in one workshop. Almost certainly you will take away such a different way of seeing things that you will be permanently changed, not just in performance but wherever else in your life these habits operate.

This LearningMethods approach has helped hundreds of performers and revolutionized the pedagogy of teachers all around the world. It is now a regular part of the teaching curriculum in numerous conservatories and colleges in Europe and North America.

Come along and see for yourself — all you have to lose is your problems !

TORONTO, ON — Dates coming soon — A 2½ day workshop Anatomy of Wholeness     Making sense of our amazing human system "We need look no further than ourselves to see a miracle every day! "                            Babette Lightner, LearningMethods Teacher

 

 
A weekend workshop open to everyone
 - you do not need to have attended any previous workshops.

This workshop is a prerequisite for the Modular LearningMethods and Alexander Technique Trainings

WHAT IS THIS ANATOMY OF WHOLENESS WORK ABOUT?

David Gorman, renowned anatomist, author of The Body Moveable, Alexander Technique teacher trainer and founder of the LearningMethods work (see bio below), brings his latest insights to this workshop — the Anatomy of Wholeness^™ — about understanding your amazing human design and function from the point of view of you, the whole thinking, feeling, responding, performing being.

The workshop explores the larger whole-person patterns of organization in your system that are usually overlooked in all the anatomical detail. Individual muscles, joints or 'organs' like the larynx, do not work in isolation but as part of an entire "pattern of organization" of your whole being including your thoughts, feelings and beliefs about yourself and your activity.

Understanding and learning to get out of the way of the natural functioning of these built-in whole-system "patterns of being" allows you to eliminate interference and to regain your heritage of effortless wholeness along with greater support, freedom, ease and coordination.

The course presumes no special knowledge of the body, though for those who already know a lot, you'll find a whole new point of view to deepen your understanding and improve your daily activities and practice.

AND WHO IS IT FOR?

It is designed for anyone who is already exploring themselves and their function through any method or technique; for health and medical professionals, Alexander Technique, body-workers, and those who work with others; for those who practice yoga, martial arts, aikido, etc.; for performers (musicians, actors and dancers), athletes; or anyone simply interested in understanding themselves and learning how to function better.

WHAT WILL WE COVER?

In these two days you will discover (among many other things):

— one of the most fundamental yet simple elements of freedom that not many know how to use…

— one of the most fundamental yet simple elements of freedom that not many people know how to use…

— the beautiful organization naturally inherent in your system where muscles function as an elastic suit suspending you in a web of adjustable support that follows you around, springing you effortlessly into activity…

— and how radically different this is from the usual way we (and most books and teachers) think we are built to function…

   
This workshop will change the way you think about yourself,
and the way you use yourself in the world.
    

— how your whole respiratory system is hung inside you directly from your head and why the voice is a special kind of voluntary activity, designed to be organized by your intention
alone, and especially vulnerable to interference…

— how the precision coordination of your hand (and arms and shoulders) depends on the clarity of your intention... and how you can easily interfere by trying to directly control coordinations…

— how communication, emotion and response are inherent expressive properties dependent on your state of freedom, and how we are designed to respond to others directly without emotions being "added on" in performance…

— the in-built coordinating system that will put together and refine new skills far faster, easier and with higher quality than you could ever do yourself by trying to control your parts…

— the huge implications of a recently-discovered genetic program in your muscles that allows them to change their very nature to suit you… and why the proper kind of training and practice is essential to take advantage of it…

— the two ‘hidden’ organizations of muscle in the legs that give you a built-in primate nature to eliminate effort and back problems…

— the ‘myth’ of the quadriceps and calf muscle and why most exercises and training for them does not really do what most of us want…

— why so much trying to change and improve ourselves with one method after another often ends up making people feel more separate, more in parts, and no nearer our goals …

— and, of course, much more…

... plus wherever your questions and interests lead us… After all, the workshop is for YOU !

Dates/Times:

Dates coming soon
Friday evening will run from 7-10pm and the Saturday and Sunday will run from 10am - 5pm each day with a one-hour lunch break.

Location:

The workshop location will depend on numbers, but will likely be held at 19 Stephen Drive, Etobicoke (see maps here). If you are coming from out of town, contact us about accommodation and/or rides to the workshop — we may be able to help...

ABOUT THE TEACHER

David Gorman has become widely known for his innovative and unique approach to making our human functioning understandable, relevant and fascinating. In 1980 he published a 600-page illustrated text on human structure and function called The Body Moveable, now in its 5th edition, and in 1995 a collection of articles and essays, Looking At Ourselves (available as a print book or as an e-book).

David has been helping people make sense out how they function since the mid-70s. He has taught the Alexander Technique since the late 70's and trained Alexander teachers until 1997 when his new LearningMethods work began to evolve from his discoveries.

He teaches private workshops, and at numerous schools and universities where he helps faculty and students alike learn how to use the work for themselves and how to teach others. He is training a growing number of teachers in the LearningMethods and Anatomy of Wholeness work, many of whom are also teaching the work at conservatories and universities.

David is writing a new book, parts of which will soon be available in e-book and/or print format, and he is about to start a new modular training in LearningMethods, the Alexander Technique, and Anatomy of Wholeness.

Fine print – cancellations and refunds:  If we cancel the workshop for any reason you will be refunded in full any tuition or deposit money paid. If you cancel for any reason up to two weeks before the workshop starts you will be refunded any fees paid minus a CA$50 processing fee. No refunds will be made for any reason later than two weeks before the workshop start time.
