JADE
Drummer, dancer, artist

I studied art at Dartington and had the opportunity to have Alexander from trainee teachers who needed regular case studies. We went every Tuesday lunchtime and had group and individual lessons—lying on the table, in and out of a chair and learning to think about my back lengthening and widening.

It really helped raise my body awareness, to mindful of how I move. To this day I am aware when doing a task, drumming or playing an instrument that I need to be in control and avoid putting a strain on any one part.

Especially with the drum, I integrate Alexander into how I move. I have to wear a shoulder strap or a comfortable the hip strap. Even when I am cycling I can be straining. Instead, I think up—stomach in.
