About Glenn

Glenn B. Swift had his first year of lessons in the Alexander Technique from Brian Warren in 1983, as a core unit at drama school in Western Australia . He qualified to teach the Technique in the Sydney (Australia) course directed by Christine Ackers, Andrea Beasley and Vivien Mackie (1987).Being both clever and keen, he undertook post-graduate terms at the Constructive Teaching Centre( W.H.M. Carrington, Holland Park, London) in 1989 and 1991, and since 2001 makes annual pilgrimages from the Antipodes. He followed in Brian's footsteps and taught for many years at the West Australian Academy of Performing Arts, teaching in the acting, music theatre, jazz and classical courses. He now combines his private practice in Perth with annual forays into Europe as guest teacher at many Teacher Training Schools.

Kind invitations from Irmel Weber ( Berlin ); Karen Wentworth ( London ); Arie-Jan Hoorweg ( Amsterdam ); Carolyn Nicholls ( Brighton ); W.H.M. Carrington ( London ) and Astrid Cox ( Paris ) mean he can happily work his way around the world!

In Western Australia he teaches actors, singers, school teachers, horse riders, public speakers from every profession and serves as the AUSTAT representative to the International Affiliated Societies. He combines his private practice in Redcliffe with a busy circuit of community libraries where he is demand as a storyteller.

His ambition is to really enjoy dancing Tango.

In Teacher Training Courses he teaches a variety of games and workshops including "How to hop Like a Kangaroo" and "Inhibition Applied to Storytelling". He also spouts off Classic Australian Bush Poetry, unless you stop him.
