Lecture Details - Free for all workshop participants
Greg will present a lecture detailing his handling system, including key aspects such as the principles underpinning the system, positional cues and blind cross body line. This will provide both an excellent introduction for those who haven’t previously worked with Greg and allow you to get a flying start into the practical workshops. It will also allow those who have worked with Greg to ask specific questions in a relaxed atmosphere and explore advancements in his system since the last time you worked with him. Whilst Greg and Laura will cover practical aspects of Greg’s handling system during the workshops, Greg will cover the detail/theory of his system in the lecture that they will not have the opportunity to do during the subsequent days. The workshop content will be similar to that covered in 2009 however we strongly encourage previous attendees to come along as a refresher.
