As part of my art practice I produce immersive, interactive experiences around specific themes. These can be purely experiential (physical, sensory), or explorative workshops where we work in multiple media (movement, visual, writing). I strive to create a space where participants can have multi sensory experiences and explore their own thoughts and feelings – which then lead to artistic expression. Experimentation and process are key and I see all participants as teachers who contribute their own knowledge to common learning. Creative movement (contact improvisation, dance improvisation, yoga) classes can be technical and aimed at physical development/fitness but participants are also invited to play with what they learn.
