About this Event
This year's Big Weekend guest teacher is David Kaetz, from Canada. David is a musician, author and Feldenkrais practitioner who has written several books including Making Connections and the Ezikiel Code and has developed his particular approach to audition (the act of hearing) using the Method, Listening with the Whole Body. We are delighted to welcome him as our guest presenter at this year’s weekend, which will be in Bath.
The weekend incorporates the FGUK's Annual General Meeting on Saturday morning, followed by afternoon discussions, a presentation by David, plus a day's workshop with David on Sunday. This year there will also be a public workshop on Friday evening, which is included in the Big Weekend ticket price for members.

4-6pm - Making Connections - A multi-media presentation by David Kaetz
A presentation, drawing on David’s book Making Connections - Hassidic Roots & Resonance in the Teachings of Moshe Feldenkrais. David says: “The teachings of Moshe-Pinchas Feldenkrais take us beyond the usual divisions of science, religion, and art, and into a realm where grace, health, and effectiveness are one. By all appearances, this is a new phenomenon, but, in the long view, holistic somatic work goes way back. We will delve into the spiritual background of the founder of the FM, and some of the philosophical premises underlying his approach.”
Sunday 15 September - 10am-5pm
Listening with Your Whole Body. A workshop exploring David’s work on the process of audition, with a particular emphasis on the teaching of ATM for Feldenkrais practitioners. David says: “ As vision involves more than the eyes, listening involves more than the ears. It is a multi-dimensional process, where movement, touch, vision, breath, attention, attitude, thought, emotion, and relationship all have parts to play.”
David Kaetz is a professional musician, author, Feldenkrais teacher, and the developer of Listening with Your Whole BodyTM. His most recent book sets out the principles and premises of a somatic approach to audition. He teaches this work throughout Europe and in Canada. More info: https://mail.davidraphaelkaetz.com/
