Be like Katharine Hepburn.
The previous tip is about Isaiah Mustafa, the Old Spice guy. For this tip we have a young Katharine Hepburn. What is the same is their posture. Katharine’s torso is back and her head is rotated forward and up. Compare her posture to the analysis for Isaiah.
The same but different. People often ask, “What do people who have taken Alexander lessons look like?” How about a little more like Katharine Hepburn? Not a guarantee, but certainly something everyone can work toward.
I have a lot of tips about the relationship between the head and neck because the Alexander Technique suggests that the quality of the head/neck relationship has an important influence on the movement and control of the whole the body.
