“Everything is possible but you must find your own way. So, if you look at my work and think, ‘Ah there is an example, I will start by what he’s done’, you are bound to go wrong. Because the work that I do today is the result of all the work that I’ve done through trial and error, in changing times.” —Peter Brook

Brook Invites Dr. Feldenkrais to Work with His Group
Peter Brook discovered Dr. Feldenkrais and realized that he could demystify many of the elements that create a great actor and move those elements beyond the mysterious, or what people assign to inspiration.
In 1978, Brook invited Dr. Feldenkrais to work with his group.
