In this periodical series, I will bring you insights gain from old, mostly forgotten books on gesture, posture, oratory, and related fields. In this second installment, we look at Americanized Delsarte Culture, published in 1895. Emily M. Bishop's book helps us understand how the Delsarte System was transformed by Americans into a system aimed at health instead of art. There are issues we'll look at with how the Americans altered the Delsarte System, but we also gain an interesting insight into the connection between gracefulness and health.

I offer lessons in the Initial Alexander Technique, which are conducted one-on-one with a teacher over Zoom. They are designed to help you gain conscious control over how you move your body. Most people have no idea what they’re doing with their body, and as they misuse their body, they end up with discomfort, pain, and other issues that they may not even realize are caused by what they’re doing to themselves. But how do you figure out what you’re doing wrong? And how do you change what you're doing and overcome lifelong habits?
In an Initial Alexander Technique lesson, you will record yourself through Zoom, so you will be able to see and understand what you are doing when you stand, sit, walk, and perform other simple gestures. With the assistance of your teacher, you will come to understand how you are misusing the mechanisms of your body, and you will gain the ability to choose to use yourself in a more sensible way. You can learn how to use your body without pain. You can break free from long held habits. All you need is a system that works.

"A right use or operation of any part of the body is painless, a wrong use or operation is painful or will be come so sooner or later. Learning the right use of our bodies and gaining an intelligent guidance of the nerve force puts us in sympathy with the optimism of Nature "
