Читать книгу BodyStories - Andrea Olsen - Страница 9

I would like to acknowledge the work of the following individuals and their influence on my life:

Janet Adler, whose work in Authentic Movement brings an understanding of the body and the psyche.

Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, whose experiential teachings of the body systems and human developmental and reflex patterns integrate the mind and the body.

Caryn McHose, whose intuitive methods and progression for teaching human anatomy form the core of this text.

Gordon Thorne, whose belief in the value of empty space provides time and place for creative work.

John M. Wilson, whose articulate concern for training theatre performers combines arthrometric analysis with humane philosophy.

Andrea Olsen and Caryn McHose

“IMPECCABLE IN THE BEGINNING”

When Janet Adler would begin a workshop on Authentic Movement, she would call the group together and speak about the importance of beginnings. She reminded us to ask our questions and prepare ourselves, so that we could be fully present in the work. The expression she used was to be “impeccable in the beginning;” to acknowledge what we need to do in order to begin. For me, beginning this text necessitated writing about my origins.
