Frederick Matthias Alexander

My weekend with the original NYC-cab brought a lot of surprises. The most memorable is the actor, who was part of the entourage of Lady Gaga. His career lead him into the inner circle of L.A. society, but without further reputation in the history of film. He played some more or less unspectacular roles. I did not know him before. He entered my taxi in Lichtenberg, checking some location for the next art video planned by his chef. This is not interesting at this point. The interesting thing was, that he is also the personal trainer of Lady Gaga for Alexander Technics. What kind of technics, did I ask. You know, he started, there was this guy, Frederick Matthias Alexander, he was from Tasmania. And he was observing things quite precisely. And so and and on. I could not believe what he was talking about. We ended in a center for Alexander Technics. And he gave me a lesson. What the hell are you doing with me? It took almost one hour, half of the time I was lying on a table and he arranged my extremities in a surprising mannor. The next half of an hour, he advised me how to sit and how to stand up. Astonishing.
