The Alexander Technique is a gentle and effective method for those seeking ease of movement and alleviation of stress. Musicians, actors and computer users, among others, have found the Technique useful for changing habitual patterns of tension and going about their activities with greater ease, freedom, and control. This introductory workshop will be taught by Marie Stroud, one of the Boston area's most experienced Alexander Technique teachers. Co-sponsored by the ATIC Lab.

This is for the beginner. Truly appreciating Jazz goes beyond just listening to the music. We propose to cover the elements of jazz, including improvisation, harmony and instrumentation. We'll look at the history of jazz and examine the contributions of the legendary masters and innovators. We'll provide pointers to good jazz albums, radio programs, local jazz clubs, and the current scene. This will be done through a combination of lectures, audio/video clips and live demonstrations by two jazz musicians.
