I have a greater sense of control when I'm playing and it feels easier, particularly when I'm playing something technically difficult’

Attended by over 560 Alexander Teachers from 34 different countries, it was a truly global event! The work of Andreas Dirscherl and Rossella Buono, along with Bob Britton was outstanding. Plus, a great support team made the whole event run smoothly.

The Congress Directors are Michaela Wohlgemuth (Ireland), Kamal Thapen (England) and Michael Frederick (U.S.A.).
