About this exposition

Name: Larissa Groeneveld Main Subject: Cello Research Supervisors: Anna Scott & Stephan van Dijk Title of Research: The road to freedom: Thinking in activity My Research Question: How can I make a connection between the core principles of AT and my own playing and teaching activities at the Royal Conservatoire The Hague ? The goal of this research project was to create a connection between the core principles of Alexander Technique (AT) and my musical practice and teaching. This was motivated by my interest and struggle to integrate this technique into my life. In order to do this, I first visited and talked with a vast number of AT teachers who are already working on this combination, I read many key books written in the field, took AT lessons on a regular basis, and clarified and reflected upon my ideas by making video recordings of my teaching activities. Finally, I came up with a series of concrete methods and exercises for applying the core principles of AT in musical contexts. I have also made a series of short videos that demonstrate some of these ideas. In doing all of this I realized what a challenge it is to remain healthy and open in an on-going process of development, especially with all the difficulties we encounter in modern life. These issues are urgent and should be taken seriously. I am now even more convinced that we can only find solutions if we ‘inhibit and direct.' Through further development I will continue to nurture and stimulate this process in the future.
