About Jennifer

I am a singer, recorder player and a fanatical knitter. I've worked in professional theatre as a director and workshop leader, particularly with children. I first studied the Alexander Technique when repetitive strain injury stopped me from working and enjoying activities I loved. I couldn't use the computer, couldn't play recorder, couldn't knit, couldn't even cook. Life was pretty hard for a while.

I was astonished by the transformation the Technique was having on my entire life - and not just on my physical difficulties. So I decided to train to become a teacher and help others to make the same discoveries. I trained as a teacher of the Interactive Teaching Method with Don Weed. I'm a member of the ITM Teachers' Association, a member of the Institute for Learning, and registered with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC). I'm a member of Equity, the actors' union. You can also find me through Theatre Bristol.

I've worked for Bristol City Council (Learning Communities Team), Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, The Actors' Workshop, and the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. I'm also the resident AT tutor at the Folk House in Bristol. My recorder quartet Pink Noise gives concerts and recitals in the Bristol area. And I'm knitting again - obsessively!
