Well, another beautiful autumn day here in West Berkshire! I have just had a great class and am feeling good!
A comment has come from France and it has inspired me to write this post:
Hello! it is great you are back. Good to read your comments. Write a book or make a dvd with Esther so that finally we know what is the authentic Lotte Berk. I live in France and probably will never be able to attend your class, you know...
Thank you for your warm welcome. It is always lovely to hear from people who read the blog! I think it is a great idea and have mentioned it to Esther but in the meanwhile....
If you would like to see Lotte Berk in action you can purchase a copy of a truly original recording Lotte made in 1982 from the website of her daughter, Esther Fairfax:
www.lotte-berk.com.
Also, Esther is currently working with her son on a project. It is a series of 50 short films documenting the technique and its history. It incorporates the subtle changes and refinements that Esther has made to the technique over the past 49 years yet maintains Lotte's wonderful lexicon of movement. I am looking forward to it!
And if a book might interest you instead ... I am writing an encyclopaedia documenting all the exercises so they are not lost. I hope to have it finished in the New Year!
Hopefully that will give enough of a flavour of the authentic Lotte Berk Technique....
If not, Esther is still training ... maybe you could pop over and see for yourself!
