Are you a practising artist looking to shake up your creative process? Maybe you’re feeling stuck, uninspired, or unmotivated in your own art-making. Maybe you’re craving new tools to add to your toolkit.

This Fall, I’m inviting makers of all kinds into my creative process. Immerse yourself in a mixed-media practice and step into the role of interpreter as we build an original choreography over 6 weeks (2-hour weekly workshops). I’ll create and demonstrate movement material that I’ll then shape to each individual, based on themes exploring connection, disconnection, loneliness, isolation, and community.

Through playful structured improvisations and in-depth movement explorations, we’ll create an original dance work with the ultimate goal of presenting it to the general public at the end of our workshop series.

Whether you already work in the performing arts, have a background in dance, or want to grow your creative practice, I’ll share the tools I’ve learned, developed, and honed over years of dance-making as we dive deeply into a new creation together. The tools I share with you can be adapted and translated to your own creative process to feed your next creation. No dance experience required. This workshop series is open to art-makers of all kinds. Participants will learn original choreography and perform a new creation at the end of the series.

Sliding Scale $120-$240 for 6 weeks
