In daily life our hands and arms play a central role in most aspects of our interactions with the world. Many of our actions begin with the intention of touching, reaching for or moving something thus beginning with the arms and hands can provide a delicate and detailed entrance into a variety of functional themes, including very fine and sensitive actions and the transmission of power. I have observed that many practitioners under-utilize working with the hands, even though the hands are part of virtually every action. Attention will be paid throughout the course to applications in practice and to the participants own refinement in the areas of self-use and sensitivity.

During the Amherst training program he organized and directed the filming of over 200 of Dr. Feldenkrais’ Functional Integration® lessons. Today these films constitute  nearly the entire International Feldenkrais Federation archive of Dr. Feldenkrais’ filmed FI lessons. Jerry will present, analyze, and discuss a number of these FI videos with Feldenkrais working with both adults and children. He will highlight the functional perspective in the lessons and incorporate both Awareness Through Movemen®t and Functional Integration practice in the workshop to explicate the relationship between Feldenkrais’ observations, thinking, action and theory.
