Alexander Technique teachers give up! No, not the
surrendering kind of giving-up, - the upbeat, uplifting and upright
kind of up. Lest we take ourselves too seriously, this page offers some
lighter views of the Alexander Technique.
As the Technique gains public recognition, it is even endorsed by Kermit The Frog; Making
movies like the Muppet Christmas Carol and The Muppet Treasure Island
was a big departure for us. For the first time , we had to portray
characters other than ourselves. For me that meant going back to
acting school to prepare for my roles in these movies. I took classes
in the Staninslavski Method, Meisner Training, the Alexander Technique,
Brechtian Acting, and Method Acting before finally settling on that
time-honored Muppet method of Over Acting. Before You Leap, Frog's-Eye View of Life's Greatest Lessons.Kermit The Frog, Meredith Books, Des Moines,Iowa, 2006. Pg.62
