Luc Vanier (MFA, MAMSAT) received his MFA from the University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana and certified as an Alexander technique teacher in 2001 and later became a training course Director in 2011. Vanier has lectured and presented his research extensively nationally and internationally and his co-authored book “Dance and the Alexander Technique” was published by University of Illinois Press in 2011. He founded the Integral Movement Lab, which combines the Alexander Technique and developmental ideas within product and curriculum designs. Last year, he co-authored a chapter, The Subtle Dance of Developmental Self-Awareness with New Media Technologies, published with the Presse University du Quebec (PUQ) and this Spring, a new book chapter, Ballet aesthetics of trauma, development and functionality, is about to be published in the book (Re)Claiming Ballet with Intellect Press. Luc is convinced of his responsibility to interrogate our physical practices in order to not habitually duplicate racist/sexist perspectives. He co-created Framework for Integration, a movement analysis system anchored in the way babies and animals move that helps all movers make new, healthier movement decisions and encourages more coordinated and integrated bodily use.
