This is a limited edition institute with only a few spaces available, running from 2pm Friday afternoon to 2 pm Sunday afternoon. Alan will arrive in Paris one day before the institute and leave two days after the institute, so there will also be time for individual sessions. In short, Alan's 5 days in Paris visit will look roughly like this:
Are you hesitant to attend? Feel you are not advanced enough? Not well-enough prepared? Don't worry; Alan welcomes all, no matter what your ability, no matter what the state of your program. The Institute really is open to all interested pianists:
He also welcomes instrumentalists and vocalists, who find that their sound, their agility and their sense of ease and freedom from tension improve dramatically with Alan's Feldenkrais for Performers (Performance Somatics) approach. There is no limit to improvement!
Studio Les Muses is located in Rue Pierre Fontaine, Paris, Île-de-France 75009, France. The exact address will be given to institute participants upon registration.
Take the Métro Line 12 to Pigalle station or Blanche station.
There are plenty of hotels in the area, and we also recommend airbnb.
MEALS
Right on our street we have a choice of restaurants such as La Dulcinea, Le Garde Temps, or Chez Paolo if we want Italian. Of course, who would want Italian when you are in Paris! But one never can tell....
