Bill Connington
“We think we know how to listen. But often our minds wander, and the next thing we know we're thinking about things not happening in the room...Really listening requires being in your body. You listen with your ears, your sense of hearing, of course, but at the highest level, you can listen with almost a sixth sense.”
Bill Connington, Introduction to the Alexander Technique: A Practical Guide for Actors

Bill Connington
“There's an apt expression: 'If you don't live in your body, where are you going to live?' But many of us don't. We tend to get locked into our heads or our imaginations . . . recognizing the importance of the body is primary. It's who we are, it's where we live, it houses and embodies your mind and imagination.”
Bill Connington, Physical Expression on Stage and Screen: Using the Alexander Technique to Create Unforgettable Performances
