The years of 1980 and 1981 were arguably the most creative and generative years in Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais's teaching career. They also mark the final years that he taught workshops open to the public. This two-and-a-half day weekend workshop, conducted in South Bend, Indiana, in 1980, finds Feldenkrais in top form. The  workshop is oriented to the beginning student, yet the lessons are uniquely constructed and will offer new perspectives for more experienced students at all levels. You will find it fascinating to experience how Feldenkrais is able to bring a group with a wide range of abilities and ages to a level where they are able to successfully perform challenging Awareness Through Movement lessons.

Throughout the weekend Feldenkrais masterfully interweaves his wide ranging ideas about human potential, learning, psychology, development and the plasticity of the brain, with his movement lessons. The audio quality of this course is very good, and though the video picture is mainly black and white and not up to today's standards, it is still clear and easy to follow. The South Bend Workshop is the only public workshop taught by Dr. Feldenkrais currently available on DVD.
