Curiosity Recaptured: Exploring Ways We Think and Move
About the Book
The 15 essays in Curiosity Recaptured provide a compelling introduction to the Alexander Technique. Whether you are interested in the performing arts, problem-solving, the field of health, or simply a more satisfying way to live, this book can open the door to a new world. It can change what you notice and how you move.
Each essay in Curiosity Recaptured tells a story. Some are about learning a new skill or the excitement of solving a particularly intractable problem. Others reexamine commonplace moments of our days that often go unnoticed. Each writer tells a personal story that takes us from a specific activity being described to the impact the activity has on our overall interest and curiosity in daily life.
Curiosity Recaptured, with 14 original illustrations,
is now available in paperback. In the foreword, Robertson Davies - internationally
acclaimed author and long-time student of the Alexander Technique - provides
a sweeping history of the Technique, and of his introduction to it more
than 40 years ago. Included in this collection are essays on cycling,
problem-solving, chair design, dance, acting, childbirth, singing, grief,
walking, tennis, and much more. Whatever your interests, Curiosity Recaptured
can help you look at the world around you in new ways.
