Clare Maxwell

Clare is the creator of Mobile Body Alignment™, a method of bringing awareness to the self in movement that harmonizes the nervous system, skeleton, and musculature. Mobile Body Alignment™ liberates the practitioner from negative self-consciousness, stiffness, and loss of ease. Inspired by many years dancing and teaching the Alexander Technique, Mobile Body Alignment™ can be applied to any movement form or activity. One of Clare’s main research interests in The Union is how to get new perspectives on our habitual assumptions, especially concerning the different roles of teaching and learning; a non-hierarchical, peer-to-peer work exchange structure is one way of doing this. I am also very interested in the plasticity of our body schema, how to practise updating, refining, or changing this self image, and how that kind of practice affects our ability to organize and move ourselves in space.
