Vivien in Conversation with Karen DeWig – Dealing with a Scary Diagnosis

 

Hello and welcome to the Schapera show where Viv and Neil explore this big adventure called life. Our guest today is a colleague of mine that I haven’t actually met in person yet and I’m extremely pleased to meet her now in this particular way. I mean I have spoken to her on the phone. We always prepare for these interviews to make them wonderful for all of us and I want to say welcome to Karen DeWig  – Hi Karen, welcome to the show.

 
Hi Vivien, thank you so much for having me. It’s a pleasure being here.

You’re one of the people that I have been observing in our professional society with giving such amazing leadership and everything and so I want to say that but before we begin I just also want to remind everyone that this is part two in a two-part presentation. So last time we spoke to Brooke Leib and she talked about her experience of working with you Karen and I believe you’re going to reference that in what we talk about today, is that right?

Oh yeah, yeah I’m going to be bringing up my work with Brooke. Definitely.

Yeah, good. So I think let’s just begin in a very ordinary grounded way with you telling us about yourself. For example I know you’re an Alexander teacher but in my experience almost all Alexander teachers have other careers, other interests. So let’s hear about you Karen.

Yeah so I got into Alexander technique as a professional flutist. I thought it would help my flute playing which it did but it also changed my personality in a really cool way. Like I found myself able to not respond so habitually or quickly or emotionally as I was used to and I really liked that about myself and so that got me really interested in Alexander enough so that I decided to become a teacher and so I taught for maybe years before opening a teacher training course which I’ve been doing for the past years or so. So I’m training Alexander teachers as well.
