Tuesday, August 26, 2003Hey, what is this Feldenkrais stuff about anyway? I'm always looking for verbal descriptions of the Feldenkrais Method that are concise and easy to grasp for the uninitiated. Maybe that's not going to work as well as I want it to. Look at this quote from Electronic Frontier Foundation co-founder (and Grateful Dead lyricist) John Perry Barlow writing about the Burning Man project in Wired News
"The important thing about Burning Man is that it is the most experiential phenomenon I can think of ...It can't be turned into data in any useful way. You can't informatize it by blogging it, filming it or taking pictures of it, because so much of it can't be translated into information. "[Wired News]
So maybe that's the answer when asked: "Feldenkrais is an experiential phenomenon that can't be turned into data in any useful way. Now, please lie on your back and notice your contact with the floor..."
