Dr. Clark leads AT workshops that emphasize the principles of the technique, and the anatomy and physiology that supports the study and use of AT. The Alexander Technique for singer/actors specifically addresses the connection between core- support and the primary control of the head for ease and freedom of movement. It is a positive and important component of primary elements of strength, balance, and flexibility that the singer/actor needs to perform and deliver a powerful performance.
Joining this workshop is his wife, the eminent UK violinist and teacher at the Royal Academy of Music, Dr. Joan Chika Robertson. Dr. Robertson has led the string sections of orchestras internationally in the US and UK and on tour in many countries. She is a well-known adjudicator and evaluator of violinists, and is experienced in working with the Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais Method and also trained in Reiki, a Japanese technique used for stress reduction, promoting wellbeing.
