Exploring the science behind the Alexander Technique
He will introduce several phenomena that are currently being studied in movement science and sport psychology and which might have a bearing on our understanding of mechanisms underpinning the Alexander Technique.
These include such things as the einstellung effect, the kohnstamm phenomenon, ironic effects, the Quiet Eye and the Grenier Technique. We’ll have fun exploring how some of these phenomena might inform our understanding of the AT and might serve as profitable directions for further research and understanding. Professor Anderson will also briefly introduce us to a couple of the specific studies he has done on the AT.

We all need some me time sometimes and a week full of events and activities is a lot to take in. That is why, every day, you will find an empty time slot in the Congress timetable.
Get a coffee, hang out with friends, do a work-exchange, take a walk through Tiergarten or along the Landwehrkanal or the Spree river.
Or find a quiet place to be alone and re-charge. We will have a couple of rooms designated as “quiet rooms” just for that.

Rossella is the author of For the Love of Games with Anne Mallen, with beautiful illustrations by Melbourne artist Isobel Knowles.

Rossella has a gift for organising, a dynamic personality and a down to earth approach to things, allowing her to join the dots leading to new content and collaborative projects. She sees the Alexander Technique as an effective and sustainable model of personal and social development. Bringing an inclusive and practical spirit to all her activities, Rossella aims to realise the Technique’s value as a resource to as many people as possible.
