An Academic Who Dances
Jan 31, 2018Your academic friends all behave similarly right?
The love books. They want to debate you - they have strong opinions, write essays and hang out with their intellectual friends.
Scary almost. So what do you make of this person…
He realises he is an intellectual - so what does he do?
HE JOINS A FRIGGING DANCE COMPANY!!!
The Tasmanian Dance Company in fact. This "intellectual" person - who dances - is my dear friend Greg Holdaway. He is an Associate Director of BodyChance and this year, one of the lead teachers at BodyChance's 15th Golden Week residential in Gotemba, Japan.

Greg is one of those exceptional teachers who develops what he is lacking - until he knows more than the experts. After his dance career, Greg trained with me and my brother-in-law Bill Brenner in Sydney to qualify as an Alexander teacher.
During that time, he morphed into a publisher/editor and worked with me to produce the Direction Journal.
Later he returned to academic life - confounding the Professors at Australia's oldest and most elite University of Sydney. Here's what it was like for one of those Professors:
Professor would turn to the class of young students and ask:
"Does anyone have any questions?"
Then quickly look towards Greg and say:
"NOT YOU!"
Why?
Because the Professor guessed he might not be able to answer Greg's question.
Greg was already way past the current students, asking leading-edge questions that called for the latest research in how our nervous system operates our movement. Of course, by this time Greg was an experienced teacher of Alexander's discoveries and used his empirical knowledge of this system to pose complex neuro-command questions.
There's even a story of Greg coming out of a final year exam and telling the Professor:
"You made an error in the exam. You posed a question that is impossible to solve."
Of course, the Professor thought it was nonsense. Until he checked - Greg was right. The Professor had failed to include the data needed to answer one of his questions!
All true.
That's Greg.
And if you want to go ten layers deep, Greg is ready for you. Broaden your knowledge and impress your students with ideas at the leading edge of neuroscience. Ideas that speed up your ability to help others.
Remember - Greg is also the dancer, he knows how to wiggle a pelvis SCIENTIFICALLY.
Do your Self a favour and come to Golden Week - capture the wisdom and depth of one the world's best teachers of Alexander's discovery.
I will be there learning too - Greg and I always have a great time together!
