Workshares

Alumni Workshares

Once a term alumni and training course teachers get together at LCATT to share work.  This offers the opportunity for graduates to work with the LCATT community of teachers and to present ideas and work to the group.
Dates to come soon.

All teachers are welcome to the workshares at LCATT. You can just drop in or contact Roger – kidd.roger@gmail.com for more details.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Workshops and Talks 

LCATT organises regular activities including talks from other disciplines that may relate to the Alexander Technique, forums with presentations about inspiring work being done within the Alexander Technique and workshops for visiting teachers from abroad. (See below for further information). We also offer workshops run by our LCATT team of teachers on different topics, often related to the theme we are working on in the training course, so that they can, for interest, be combined with a visit to the school.

Workshops for Teachers and Students

A ‘Hands on’ workshop with Refia Sacks
Sunday 5th October, 10.00am to 1.00pm at LCATT. Cost £40 for teachers and £30 for students. (A workshop for teachers and senior students).
Refia’s passion is teaching ‘hand on’ and she has been developing this over the 23years she has been Head of Training at LCATT.
In this workshop we will take an in depth look at our hands and our relationship with them.  We will explore the touch, the feel, the shape of them and the direction and energy in them. We will look at how we can build up a trust in our connection to our hands and our use, and communicate, through them, the warmth, sensitivity and understanding of our direction in our non-doing touch, so that we can really enjoy the art of ‘hands on’? We teachers all develop teaching habits and this workshop also hopes to expand our ‘hands on’ vocabulary.
Dart 3 workshop – development from creeping and crawling to walking and singing with Judith Kleinman.

If you have worked with the Dart Procedures before, this is the workshop for you as we will go through the whole sequence of evolution through into walking and talking and singing.
Sunday November 30th 10.00am to 1.00pm. Cost £40 for teachers, £30 for students.
To book – Email judithkleinman@gmail.com
