Description:

David Zemach-Bersin began to study with Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais in Berkeley California, in April of 1973. Eight months later, he traveled to Tel-Aviv, Israel to continue his studies. Each day for nearly five months he sat in a small room at 49 Nachmani Street and watched Dr. Feldenkrais give Functional Integration® lessons. During the next 10 years, David traveled to Tel-Aviv four more times to study and work with Dr. Feldenkrais.

“During my visits to Israel, I would often take notes while watching Moshe’s give Functional Integration lessons. In 1984, the year that Moshe passed away, I moved, stored the notes, and never saw them again, until last fall when I discovered them amongst many old papers. I was stunned to find my description of many interesting and creative lesson situations which I had completely forgotten about.”  -David Zemach-Bersin

During this special workshop, David will:
demonstrate, explain, and analyze FI lessons he witnessed in Tel-Aviv.
Discuss the strategies behind and within the lessons, as well as how Dr. Feldenkrais generated different permutations or variations from one idea or FI situation.
