Within the languages of American Indians there is no word for "art". For Native People, everything is art and everyone is an artist. Exploration and creation, through any medium, is a fundamental part of being alive, of knowing oneself and one's world. Visioning and creating together is a foundation of community - whether a family, a tribe, an alliance, or a world.
The Living Arts program is a study of Alexander's principles through the "arts" of our daily life: visual, musical, textile, tactile, culinary, and movement, among others. Together, we can re-member and re-create ourselves through these life arts. Becoming a student at Alexander Alliance Southwest means making a clear commitment to studying over a three year period of time. Each year of study is comprised of several learning events and one 8-day intensive. Most events are held in and around Santa Fe, NM in throughout the year. The 8-day intensive is held at the Claymont Center for Continuous Education in the Shenondoah Valley of West Virginia the beginning of July. Additional and/or make-up classes can be taken at the Alexander Alliance school in Philadelphia, PA. Upon completion of the training program, there is an opportunity to continue your studies as a teaching apprentice. Requisites for Admissions 1. A completed application to the Alexander Alliance. 2. A copy of your resume. 3. A letter of recommendation from an Alexander teacher with whom you have studied. 4. A letter articulating what draws you toward the Alexander Work.

A minimum of 30 hours of direct study with an Alexander teacher, and/or one week of study at the Alexander Alliance or at the Annual Summer Retreat Course. 6. An interview with Robyn Avalon, Martha and/or Bruce Fertman. 7. Clear indications of social maturity.
