Training Course Residential This event is part of the teacher-training programme at WATC. It is also open to experienced pupils who would like to participate in an "Alexander intensive", and to teachers who would like post-graduate tuition. The Programme Arrival time is 4pm on Friday 20 April. After settling in, we all meet together at 5pm for tea, introductions and informal practical work till 6:30pm. On Saturday, Sunday mornings breakfast will be at 8am followed by practical work from 9:00-12:30, with a break for coffee. The pattern of the session will be similar to a morning on the training course, with turns from the teachers, guided hands-on work for teachers or senior trainees, and modules on elements of Alexander's teachings. For prospective teacher-trainees this provides a good "taster" of what it is like to train at WATC. After lunch there will be time to go for a walk or have a rest. In the afternoons between 4:30 and 6:30, there will be themed workshops, CPD workshops for teachers and guided discussions. We will organise the catering for ourselves with everyone taking turns at cooking, cleaning etc.; a wonderful opportunity to apply the technique to practical tasks shared with other people. In the evenings after dinner we can just relax or join in some activities with others (singing, poetry, dancing, games). Musicians are welcome to bring their instruments. Please bring a poem, song or story to share, if you would like to. Departure time is 10am on Monday morning.    The teachers for this event will be John Hunter, Dorothea Magonet, Philippa Castell and Tim Soar.  Accommodation is mainly in shared twin rooms. Single occupancy of a twin room is available (see below).   The fee for the course is £315 which includes tuition, three nights accommodation and all meals (communal self-catering). Full-time students are offered a discount of 20%. AT teacher-trainees are welcome to attend with the agreement of their Head of Training.   The supplementary fee for single occupancy of a twin room is £60.   Transport Waunifor Estate is about 30 minutes drive from Carmarthen Station. Transfers can be arranged from and to the station at certain times. Please ask when booking if you require this service. There will be a small charge depending on local taxi rates.
