Rosen Method at the Vitality Show
I write this basking happily in the spring sunshine, remembering that it was just about a year ago that I heard the amazing news that I’d been lucky enough to have been awarded my study funding from the Get a Life Fund. I have so much to look forward to on the training, and still the support from the fund is there in the background, gently encouraging me.
Spring started aptly with the UK Rosen Method School having a stall at the Earls Court Vitality Show this year, and I went along for a couple of days to volunteer as a Rosen Method Intern giving fifteen minute demonstrations alongside my fellow Interns and our teacher, Ingrid Maria. It was a fantastic experience, and in the busy periods very full on and thoroughly absorbing. I hadn’t quite anticipated the challenge of the ‘haiku’ type demonstration, giving someone a taste of Rosen Method in fifteen minutes when a session is usually fifty. I was so touched that people were so prepared to give it a go, and many had come really far to get to the show. The opportunity was a great incentive to print up fliers and cards, and it was fun to be pushed into producing something, no matter what, rather like those recordings taken at the very end of a long recording day which are the ones that are chosen to be used! Needless to say they mention the Get a Life Fund and that musicians can have an introductory session!
Following the Vitality Show we had some group supervisions and personal sessions with one of our supervisors from Sweden, Marianne Svedjemyr, and soon there will be more supervisions on the 16th May with Gloria Hessellund over from the US.
