Kristen Linklater wrote about the Feldenkrais Method:
“To have immediate access to emotional sources and to allow emotional energy to flow unblocked through a free body demands some re- ordering of the brain’s priorities. The Feldenkrais Methodoffers a detailed road-map with which to explore one’s territory and make conscious decisions about its use.”
The resulting potent state allows actors to extend their heightened awareness to their fellow actors, to their environment, and to truly listen and be present on stage.
