One of her annotations: "...in both instances all depends on the point of view, we cannot be surprised that the mere promise to reform is usually futile, and we must furthermore realize that a changed point of view is the royal road to reformation."
Technique has helped me to undo knots, unblock energy and deal with almost paralysing stage fright.
Deborah (Debbie) Gibson "I went to Alexander Technique sessions for alignment and breathing and mastering that period posture that women had during a time where women were very upright and stately"
Alan Rickman "Using the Alexander Technique empowers me and gives me a balanced sense of tension rather than relying on creating tension to do something in order to produce a sound or an act that is preconceived. I realized that I cannot control a set of circumstances outside of myself so I can go on a journey relying on the state of mind and body that the Alexander Technique gives me."

Lenny Henry... He’s certainly been doing emergency Alexander technique, and in rehearsal his new upright posture works to menacing effect when he towers over his Desdemona.
Sir Ian Mckellen "I was very enthusiastic about the value of the Alexander Technique and I made it possible for all members of the “Richard III” and “The King Lear” companies to have lessons whilst rehearsing."

"It's a wonderful technique, because it is a very pure form of analyzing your body in relation to movement … analyzing your body about being, and [Alexander instructor Judy Leibowitz] was one of my favorite acting teachers." These skills, Kilmer pointed out, are integral to the actor's craft. "I had a mean teacher once, who kind of said, 'How dare you think you can act Shakespeare; you don't know how to walk across the room yet' … and in a way, that's true."
