  • Summary

  • I met with Dennis Leri at his home in San Rafael at the end of March, 2015. We talked about 

    • the role of recording in the Feldenkrais Method
    • some of the concepts that Dennis used to think through what Feldenkrais work is about
    • the various phases of Dennis' career
    • the shapes of the Feldenkrais community as Dennis saw them
    • Feldenkrais in terms of art
    • the East-Meets-West dimension of the work
    • Feldenkrais as a community of inquiry

    To record this interview, I met Dennis in San Rafael where he lived with his wife Maria in a small, cozy place. They had a garden level studio where Dennis worked. We spoke upstairs in the front-room for a half an hour (part 1), then we went out to lunch. We continued the interview when we returned (part 2).

    I found Dennis remarkably open and engaging, both in this conversation and in general.


    I didn’t have a plan for releasing the recording we made, but when he died at the end of 2016, I felt it would be appropriate to share it with people in the Feldenkrais community.


    Now I share it here to make it available in a more ongoing way.


    Dennis was one of the very important teachers in my life. I’m happy to share this conversation I had with him.
