Alexander Technique - Aingeala De Búrca

Alexander Technique - Aingeala De Búrca I have been teaching Alexander’s work since 2007 alongside my primary career as a violinist. Alexander was an Australian actor.

Aingeala De Búrca: Violinist and Alexander Technique & performance coaching
Based in Dublin and Stockholm
Alexander Teacher-trainer on the ITM Training course, Bristol (Interactive Teaching Method) UK I love Alexander’s work for its radical approach to making lasting changes in life. He was born in Tasmania in 1869 and he died in London in 1955. He made a thorough investigation into the causes an

d solutions for his onstage vocal difficulties. In doing so, he discovered important principles of thinking in relation to movement, and left us with a process that anyone can apply to make ongoing improvements in any area of life. An approach to thinking about movement, Alexander described it as “an exercise in finding out what thinking is.” Over time, improvement and change takes place mentally and physically simultaneously. Alexander’s work teaches new mental skills for directing ourselves in everything we do, leading to greater ease and higher standards of movement and performance. Perhaps you would like more ease in carrying out simple daily activities? Or higher standards of expression in specialised performance? You may be interested in personal introspection and development? Whatever your goals, Alexander’s work can empower anyone to make fundamental change at many levels. All classes are for anyone, each class functions as both introductory and ongoing, so feel free to come to any or all! If you would like to know about current classes, please get in touch with me at [email protected]

I have been involved in the education of performers and creative artists for almost 20 years. I also trained as a music therapist in the late 90s and have played violin since I was five. I have played professionally with orchestras, ensembles, theatre companies and rock-bands. I draw on my training and experience as a musician in a varieties of settings in my teaching. I am committed to sharing Alexander’s work with anyone who is interested in discovering new ways of thinking, of moving, and developing performance/artistic practices. I am most of all fascinated with the application of Alexander’s work to the greatest artistry of all, the art of living life. I teach regularly in Dublin and Stockholm and am often invited to teach in conservatories and masterclasses throughout the UK and rest of Europe. I am a teacher-trainer on the ITM Alexander Technique teacher training course in Bristol, UK where I trained as a teacher with Don Weed from 2003 to 2007 and as a trainer of teachers from 2012 to 2016.

My colleague Mary Shorten and I will present this workshop in Cork, from 19-23 June. We will be joined by thirteen fellow teachers from Ireland, UK, Germany, Sweden and the US, and many students, both new to the work and with experience. Together we will spend 4.5 days exploring the fascinating work of FM Alexander.

What makes Alexander’s approach to personal growth and development stand out, is how he draws on the relationship between the mental and physical, to bring about benefits that are simultaneously physical and mental.

So if there is any area in life you would like to be better at, this might be just what you need! Indeed, if you are interested in the whole question of the mind in general, then this is definitely a subject that is worth exploring.

There are some spaces left. Click/scan the QR code for all the info you need.

What is the ITM approach to the Alexander Technique and what makes it unique?

“More than any other approach to teaching the work of FM Alexander, the Interactive Teaching Method (ITM) focuses on the role of thinking in relation to movement.
Rather than relying on strict or formal repetition of movement patterns, this approach engages the power and resources of each student in enlivening their capacities to plan and carry out the activities of their daily lives with greater effectiveness, efficiency, and flexibility as well as with less stress, less strain and discomfort”. Don W**d (1950-2022)

8th May is the early bird booking date for the 2026 ITM summer workshop in University College Cork from 19 - 23 June.

Many thanks to Drottningholms Slottsteater in Stockholm for hosting our two-day workshop, and to all the excellent musicians who came to take part with open minds to new ideas. It was a beautiful and historical setting, perfect to explore new ways of thinking in relation to music practice and performance.

07/01/2026

There are some places available on the next workshop in Knockrose House, Kilternan, Co Dublin which will take place on 11th January at 1015am for 2.5 hours.

These workshops take place once a month and are suitable as introductions to Alexander’s work as well as for continuing students.
Alexander discovered a powerful approach to living and moving with more freedom and ease. While his work is often associated with performance and/or sports, it can help anyone learn to do anything more easily, and with more accomplishment.

All welcome! Get in touch by DM or email to book a place and please share with anyone who may be interested - thanks!
